In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, 85% of global enterprises report that compliance requirements have grown significantly more complex over the past three years. For global enterprises like Petrobras – one of the world’s largest oil and gas producers- this growing burden poses a critical challenge: how to accelerate digital transformation while maintaining regulatory integrity. As Petrobras undertakes its largest digital transformation in Latin America, the stakes are high. To meet this challenge head-on, Petrobras has partnered with NextLabs and Deloitte to implement a robust, data-centric security approach that safeguard personal and confidential data.
Explore Petrobras’ Implementation Story to discover how leading organizations leveraging Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and Dynamic Authorization technologies to safeguard sensitive data while ensure compliance within SAP environments.
As Aerospace and Defense, and Industrial organizations accelerate global collaboration, compliance teams struggle controlling how ITAR/EAR-regulated data as it moved across networks, devices, and even offline environments. While SAP GRC Global Trade Servies (GTS) manages export compliance for tangible goods, it doesn’t govern the digital flow of technical data, CAD files, and design data – leaving critical gaps that perimeter defenses and static access control cannot close. To address this, enterprises need a unified, intelligent approach that enforces security policies at the point of use-wherever data travels and however it’s accessed.
Explore an eGRC Solution for Information Export Control that enforces ITAR and EAR rules at every point of use to assist organizations reduce disclosure risk, strengthen audit readiness, and maintain end-to-end control technical data without slowing innovation or global operations.
As the U.S. Department of Defense tightens cybersecurity expectations, contractors across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must comply with the updated CMMC 2.0 framework. Yet many organizations struggle to secure Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contact Information (FCI) across cloud systems and distributed teams. With over 110+ NIST 800-171 controls, manual processes, static access control, and legacy tools fall short – putting organizations exposed to non-compliance, lost contracts, regulatory penalties, and cybersecurity threats.
Explore the evolution from CMMC 1.0 to CMMC 2.0, why compliance with CMMC matter, and how Zero Trust, data-centric security approach can help organizations automate control enforcement, safeguard CUI and FCI in real time, and achieved sustained compliance.
