Regain Control with Always-On Governance

The challenge isn’t writing policies. It’s enforcing them automatically across every system—and proving it on demand.

Kontxtual unifies discovery, context, and orchestration so the right control is applied continuously and captured with audit-ready evidence. Your posture improves in real time, not in snapshots.

Governance Isn’t a Visibility Problem. It’s an Execution Problem.

Periodic scans, siloed tools, and spreadsheet evidence can’t keep up with how fast data, and obligations, change. Policies exist, but enforcement lags. Evidence is manual. Audits turn into fire drills.

What slows teams down:

Static inventories → new systems and data sprawl create blind spots
Disconnected tools → alerts without coordinated, next-step action
Manual policy updates → uneven enforcement as context changes
Ticket-driven remediation → slow closes and inconsistent outcomes
Hand-built evidence → audit crunches and higher overhead

The fix is automated governance that applies the right control as context changes—and captures proof by default. Kontxtual closes the execution gap with continuous, context-aware policy orchestration and built-in, audit-ready evidence.

Continuous Governance, End to End

Kontxtual is the control layer for enterprise data. It brings together discovery, real-time context, and orchestration to the right control—access, labeling, retention, encryption, residency—is applied automatically and proven with built-in evidence. It runs across cloud, SaaS, on-prem, mainframe, and streaming data without a rip-and-replace.

What you get:

  • Always-on enforcement that keeps pace with data, users, and regulations
  • Live inventories tied to policy, not static lists
  • Closed-loop evidence captured by default for audit and oversight
  • Lower effort and fewer exceptions through coordinated, automated actions
  • Enterprise scale with orchestration through the tools your teams already use

Step 1 - Discover
Continuously

Agentless discovery maps sensitive data at rest and in motion across your estate.

Step 2 — Understand in Context

Each asset is linked to owner, usage, flow, sensitivity, location, and applicable obligations.

Step 3 — Orchestrate Enforcement

The policy engine executes actions—access changes, masking, labeling, encryption, retention/deletion, ticketing—through your existing stack (ITSM, SIEM/SOAR, data platforms). Evidence is captured automatically.

Immediate, Measurable Benefits of Automated Governance

When enforcement runs automatically in context, you move from policy intent to verified action. Kontxtual delivers real-time control and built-in evidence across your estate, so teams shift from reactive reporting to continuous, audit-ready operation without added manual effort.

Continuous policy enforcement → fewer manual steps, faster risk reduction.
Audit-ready evidence → on-demand reports without hand-built artifacts.
Least-privilege at scale → map entitlements to sensitive data and remove risky access paths.
Change-ready compliance → update obligations once; propagate controls everywhere with captured proof.

How Customers Use Kontxtual to Strengthen Governance and Reduce Risk

Leading organizations use Kontxtual to automate enforcement, reduce manual effort, and maintain an audit-ready governance posture on a scale.

Fortune 100 Insurance Leader Accelerates Control Enforcement

Audit findings and NIST gaps; sensitive production data discovered in non-production environments; needed better integration with existing governance stack. Deployed Kontxtual to automate discovery, classification, and governance workflows, integrating with Guardium and Collibra.

The result: Achieved NIST compliance ahead of schedule and remediated non-production exposures, improving audit outcomes.

European Banking Leader Meets GDPR Early with Automated Governance

Tight GDPR deadline, high false positives, and limited visibility across unstructured sources. Implemented Kontxtual within VPC to automate sensitive-data discovery and governance workflows, extending local PII identifiers.

The result: Met GDPR two months early and reduced false positives, strengthening evidence and compliance tracking

Global Insurance Leader — Hybrid Posture Management Across Legacy and Cloud

A Fortune 100 insurer running heavy mainframe and growing cloud workloads struggled with audit gaps and NIST compliance. Kontxtual’s DSPM unified discovery, contextual mapping, and enforcement across both environments.

Enterprise-wide hybrid visibility, accelerated audits, and compliance achieved ahead of schedule with fewer manual cycles.

Integrations That Make Governance Actionable

Kontxtual plugs into the systems you already run so automated governance becomes part of daily operations—no rip-and-replace. Each integration connects discovery, context, and policy to execution, so gaps close fast, proof is captured, and audits stay on track.

Turn policy events into owned work with SLAs. Auto-create, route, and track remediation to closure with evidence.

Stream enforcement and drift events into your SIEM for real-time monitoring, correlation, and durable audit trails.

Push context-driven labels and retention across M365/Azure to reduce unlabeled sprawl and enforce lifecycle controls.

Apply access, masking, and retention at the database layer, log control operation for structured data proof.

Sync classifications, ownership, and lineage so policies target the right assets and stewards—kept current automatically.

Extend Governance Into Unified Posture Management

Automated governance works best when it’s connected to the motions that feed scope, coordinate action, and prove outcomes.

Enterprise DSPM

Unify discovery, context, and response across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem to coordinate enforcement and reduce risk faster.

Streaming Data Protection

Inspect MFT and EDI streams in real time with Sterling B2Bi;  to prevent live exposure—without latency.

Third-Party Risk

Monitor vendor and partner flows in real time and enforce transfer policies so controls travel with the data.

Mainframe Security

Discover and govern VSAM/Db2Z/IMS data, map RACF access, and include mainframe in audit/DSAR scope, without disrupting core systems.

AI Security

Control sensitive data from training to inference and align AI pipelines with enterprise policy and regulatory mandates.
