Govern payment files, statements and partner data after handoff.
Infrastructure, Application Owners, CISO
Sealed before or at handoff
Identity, expiry, revocation and audit
The answer in 30 seconds
Protect the payload before or at handoff so identity, expiry, revocation and evidence continue after delivery.
Challenge the status quo
Enterprise storage frequently acts as the staging point for payment files, statements, EDI records and regulatory submissions. SFTP or MFT then moves the payload securely to a partner. The architecture is sound until the file is delivered.
Handoff route
Encrypted transfer
Control ends at delivery
Sealed payload
Control survives delivery
The staging area and the channel both did their job. The delivered copy is where the governance stops.
Why this matters now
Ask: after the partner downloads the file, what technical controls still govern access, expiry, redistribution and audit? That is the gap Vaultize closes.
After handoff, the sender’s native controls usually end. The recipient may download, copy, retain or redistribute the file. Storage and transfer logs prove movement but not continuing use.
Partner exchange is expanding and audit expectations are rising. Customers are no longer satisfied with evidence that a file was transferred securely; they want to know what happened after delivery and whether access can be withdrawn.
Sensitive batch data can remain usable long after its purpose ends. A vendor breach or offboarding event may expose retained copies, while the sender has no technical control over expiry or redistribution.
Storage continues to provide the staging and retained copy. MFT or SFTP continues to provide reliable transport. Vaultize seals the payload so identity, expiry, revocation and audit can survive delivery. This creates a joint proposition without displacing the existing platform unless replacement is explicitly in scope.
Cost of inaction
Access, retention and redistribution continue beyond the organization’s effective reach.
Audit and investigation depend on fragmented records or voluntary cooperation.
Confidentiality loss can affect revenue, litigation, compliance, trust and strategic position.
Offboarding, revocation, recovery or legal retrieval becomes manual and uncertain.
The Vaultize value proposition
Vaultize carries identity, protection, policy, revocation and activity evidence with the sensitive file. Existing infrastructure remains essential; Vaultize closes the continuing-governance gap after the file moves, is shared or is downloaded.
Vaultize Seal encrypts the document itself at source, so protection is a property of the payload rather than of the route that carried it. The delivered file stays sealed on the partner server, in a downstream system or wherever the copy is kept, and the existing exchange keeps doing exactly what it does today. Applied within the supported Vaultize workflow and policy configuration.
Rights to view, print, copy, edit and forward are sealed into the file and stay enforceable once it is in the recipient's hands, while geo, IP, time, device and domain fencing narrow where the payload will open at all. Where the exchange itself should be governed rather than complemented, Vaultize Share is the alternative route: recipients open the file through an MFA-enabled link, so access is verified per person instead of granted to whoever holds the copy.
Time-based access retires on its own, and rights can be updated or withdrawn in real time after the payload has already been distributed. Vaultize Share adds recall for anything released through a governed link, and Vaultize Secure keeps immutable version history and point-in-time recovery so the correct version is still available when an outdated one is pulled back.
Every open of a sealed payload is recorded per access and carries a persistent watermark identifying the copy on screen, so the evidence belongs to the document rather than to the transfer record. Vaultize Share contributes a recipient audit trail for governed release, Vaultize Secure keeps tamper-evident records, and Discover & Classify establishes which payloads were sensitive enough to warrant all of it.

Infrastructure, application, security and partner-exchange teams. Start where the business impact is highest and expand through repeatable policy.
How Vaultize fits
Vaultize complements the customer’s existing storage, identity, DLP, email, endpoint, network and recovery controls by governing the file after those systems have done their job.

What happens today when access must be withdrawn, evidence produced or the correct version recovered?
Frequently asked
Clear answers for buyers and evaluators.
Protect the payload before or at handoff so identity, expiry, revocation and evidence continue after delivery. Storage continues to provide the staging and retained copy and MFT or SFTP continues to provide reliable transport; the delivered file simply travels sealed, so recipient access stays identity-bound, expires, can be revoked once the partner already holds the copy, and leaves per-access evidence rather than only a record of movement.
