Confidencial protects sensitive information at field, paragraph, or cell level while keeping controls attached to the data. Selective encryption can leave ordinary document content readable while protecting designated fields. Discover scans environments and classifies sensitive fields across more than 40 file types. Shield applies policy-based encryption, tokenization, redaction, deletion, or archiving. AI Guard protects retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning, and long-context workflows through sensitive-field tokenization and output filtering. Exchange handles sending, requesting, and signing protected files with access policies, activity tracking, and revocation. Transfers support up to 1 TB per send and more than 40 file types; external recipients can use a limited portal without accounts or installation at no cost. Deployment may be hosted, hybrid, or self-hosted, including cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments. Keys remain in the customer’s key-management service, including AWS KMS and Azure Key Vault.

Virtru Data Security Platform protects sensitive data shared through email, files, SaaS applications, and mission-partner environments.

The platform uses Trusted Data Format and supports Zero Trust Data Format and related metadata variations. Deployment can be on-premises, in a virtual private cloud, as managed SaaS, self-managed, or fully air-gapped. Listed integrations include Outlook, Exchange, Gmail, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Windows, Confluence, and Zendesk. Detailed audit telemetry supports compliance work, while listed resources include FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CMMC, FIPS 140-3, and HIPAA.
