About Secupi

Secupi is a data security platform that specializes in protecting sensitive data across cloud and on-premises environments. The platform focuses on data privacy compliance, particularly for organizations using cloud analytics platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS. Secupi provides client-side encryption, data masking, and access control capabilities to help organizations maintain data privacy while leveraging cloud services for analytics.

What does Secupi do?

The platform employs several key mechanisms to protect sensitive data. It encrypts data before cloud transmission, enabling organizations to utilize cloud analytics while maintaining compliance with privacy regulations. This approach differs from traditional methods by encrypting data on-premises before it reaches cloud platforms, rather than relying on cloud-side encryption. The platform includes real-time monitoring capabilities that analyze user behavior and detect potentially malicious activities through peer comparisons and individual user patterns.

Secupi's data protection extends beyond encryption to include dynamic data masking, which allows organizations to mask sensitive information in real-time without modifying the underlying data. The platform provides centralized control over sensitive data access based on need-to-know principles, allowing organizations to set granular access policies across their applications. These policies can prevent access through various methods including masking, redaction, tokenization, or complete blocking.

The platform includes comprehensive auditing capabilities that provide detailed reports for compliance assessment and forensic analysis. Each user action can be recorded and retrieved later, with options to encrypt or mask this audit data to maintain privacy compliance. The system also incorporates risk scoring functionality that analyzes user behavior to identify suspicious activities and potential security threats.

What makes Secupi different?

A key feature of Secupi is its approach to data sovereignty and cross-border data requirements. The platform includes features specifically designed for multinational organizations dealing with various international privacy regulations. It enhances de-identification through Segregation of Duties (SoD) and key segregation, which are crucial for global data operations and sharing.

The platform's zero-code implementation strategy sets it apart from traditional security solutions. Organizations can deploy necessary controls across their infrastructure without extensive development work, allowing for rapid implementation of privacy controls even in legacy applications. This approach enables organizations to address modern privacy requirements without revamping existing systems.

Use cases and industries

Secupi serves various sectors including financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, and retail. In the financial sector, it helps protect banking applications handling personal information and monetary transactions. For healthcare organizations, the platform assists in managing sensitive medical records while maintaining HIPAA compliance. Retail firms use the platform to protect payment card and transactional information.

The platform addresses specific technical requirements across different deployment scenarios. For development environments, it enables the creation of production-like environments on-demand with appropriate data protection measures. In cloud analytics scenarios, it allows organizations to safely analyze sensitive customer information while maintaining privacy compliance. The platform also supports data sovereignty requirements for organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions, enabling secure cross-border data collaboration while adhering to local privacy regulations.
