Know what matters most
Identify sensitive data, critical records, and regulated information that need stronger control and clearer policy treatment.
Pillar focus
Protecting data means governing how it is reached, used, and shared.
UNIFY helps organisations connect identity, policy, and information controls so sensitive data is protected through more than static perimeter assumptions.
Zero Trust data controls connect classification, access policy, and controlled use across cloud, hybrid, and operational environments.
Operating outcomes
What Zero Trust data thinking should deliver
Control access by context
Align data access to identity, device, role, and operational context rather than relying on coarse network trust.
Reduce unnecessary exposure
Limit oversharing, uncontrolled exports, and broad access patterns that persist long after business need has changed.
Support evidence and compliance
Create stronger traceability around who accessed what, under which conditions, and why that access was permitted.
Control model
Make the signal useful to the whole Zero Trust model.
Where it shows up
Data scenarios that commonly matter
Regulated information
Health, financial, government, and other sensitive data that require stronger protection and clearer accountability.
Operational data in mixed estates
Information spread across SaaS, on-premises systems, file stores, and line-of-business platforms.
Sharing and collaboration
Controls for how data is viewed, moved, shared, or exposed to contractors, partners, and external users.
Long-lived access accumulation
Situations where people retain broad data access over time because entitlement models were never tightened or revisited.
