Confidencial's patented technology, originally developed under DARPA—an entity of the U.S. Department of Defense known for pioneering national security innovations—was incubated at SRI, a global hub for technological breakthroughs. This technology was initially created to meet the military's critical need for protecting sensitive and proprietary information, enabling safe and predictable privacy-preserving data sharing while avoiding large-scale compromise.

In 2021, Confidencial was spun out to bring this cutting-edge technology to the wider market. Today, the company is a leader in data-centric security solutions, specializing in advanced encryption and AI-powered technologies that automatically identify, classify, and protect sensitive information, whether stored in the cloud or on-premises. Confidencial’s team, composed of PhDs, innovators, and field experts, is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of unstructured data protection.

Our mission is to provide seamless, strong data security without disrupting workflows. Trusted by organizations in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and the public sector, Confidencial ensures compliance with key industry standards like HIPAA, SOC, and ISO 27001.
