When Data Leaves,
Oversight Shouldn’t

When sensitive data leaves your environment, oversight often ends. That’s a risk you can’t afford. Kontxtual helps you stay in control, automatically discovering, classifying, and enforcing policies on data shared with vendors, partners, and platforms.

With contextual intelligence and real-time enforcement, you always know what’s leaving, where it’s going, and whether it complies.

Sharing Data Shouldn’t Mean Sharing Risk

Third-party data sharing is essential but unmanaged, it creates blind spots. Traditional tools offer static rules and little to no insight once data moves beyond your control.

That’s where gaps emerge:

  • Sensitive data is shared without applying the right policies.
  • You can’t track where data goes—or how long it stays there.
  • Manual reviews slow compliance and increase the risk of errors.

Kontxtual closes these gaps with continuous discovery, classification, and automated enforcement across file transfers, APIs, messaging, and MFT platforms like IBM Sterling.

How Kontxtual Secures Third-Party Data Sharing

Kontxtual embeds directly into your data-sharing workflows to govern sensitive data in real time. Whether exchanged through APIs, MFTs, SaaS platforms, or legacy B2B systems, Kontxtual tracks what leaves, who it’s shared with, and how it’s protected. Real-time classification and automated enforcement ensure your policies travel with the data—wherever it goes.

Step 1 - Automatically Discover Shared Data

Identify sensitive data in motion—across files, messages, APIs, and partner exchanges like IBM Sterling and MFT.

Step 2 — Classify and Monitor in Context

Tie each data exchange to identity, geography, purpose, and compliance rules—so you can assess risk and enforce the right controls.

Step 3 — Enforce Policy at the Point of Exchange

Apply retention, redaction, and access controls directly in your third-party systems using native integrations.

Immediate, Measurable Benefits of Kontxtual Third-Party Data Sharing

When oversight, classification, and enforcement are built into every data exchange, your governance doesn’t stop at the edge.

Full visibility → no vendor blind spots. Discover every instance of sensitive data leaving your environment—across MFT, APIs, SaaS, and legacy B2B systems.
Context-rich classification → governed by purpose. Each data exchange is tied to identity, geography, contract terms, and regulatory impact—so you know what’s shared, why, and with whom.
Embedded enforcement → compliant by design. Masking, retention, and access controls apply automatically within third-party systems, reducing reliance on manual reviews.
Live monitoring → fewer violations. Kontxtual flags policy drift, unauthorized flows, and overexposure in real time—so you can act before risk escalates.
Audit-ready evidence → faster compliance. Every action is logged and linked to policy, enabling clean audit trails and streamlined vendor reporting.

Customer Success: Visibility and Control Beyond the Perimeter

Leading organizations choose Kontxtual to regain control over sensitive data shared with partners, platforms, and processors. Whether managing B2B data exchanges or modernizing fragmented legacy tools, they trust Kontxtual to unify visibility and enforcement beyond the perimeter.

Global Payment Leader Unifies Third-Party Oversight in 2 Weeks

With fragmented tools like Guardium, Manta, and Sterling Gateway, this company lacked visibility into sensitive data leaving and re-entering through external processors. The team deployed Kontxtual as a unified DSPM platform, scanning 3,000 hybrid databases in just two weeks and integrating directly with Sterling Gateway for real-time monitoring of shared data.

The result: They consolidated third-party oversight, reduced DSAR response times from days to minutes, and gained end-to-end visibility and control without operational disruption.

Global Insurer Achieves Compliance Across 3 Continents in 2 Days

A legacy DLP system failed to provide scalable oversight of sensitive data exchanged with brokers and global partners, creating compliance risk. By replacing Symantec DLP with Kontxtual, the insurer deployed automated classification and enforcement across files, APIs, and B2B transfers—without interrupting business operations.

The result: In just two days, they enforced PCI and NIST compliance across three continents and established unified governance for global data sharing.

Fortune 500 Insurer Cuts Scan Costs by 99% After Fraud Exposure

A bot attack created 500,000 fake accounts, revealing blind spots in third-party data oversight and driving up scanning costs across cloud and legacy systems. The team used Kontxtual to eliminate fraudulent records, classify sensitive data across environments, and automate policy enforcement in tandem with Alation and OneTrust.

The result: They stopped downstream fraud, cut scanning costs from $4,500 to under $10 per run, and unified governance across third-party data flows and legacy platforms.

Built-In Integrations for End-to-End Third-Party Control
