DataGuard // Partner Program
01 / Partnerships
The compliant data-protection layer you can build on.
Your platform moves sensitive data. We make sure it moves safely. Sidian DataGuard is an embeddable data-protection layer that gives your product enterprise and government-grade privacy controls, without you having to build, maintain, or certify them yourself.
- Microsoft Partner
- MaRS Discovery District
- On Microsoft Marketplace
- Proven in public-safety procurement
- Aligns with NIST 800-171 / CMMC
- Zero trust by design
- SOC 2 Type II (in progress)
02 / The shift
Sensitive data, from liability to advantage.
- What it is
- An embeddable data-protection layer that gives your product enterprise and government-grade privacy controls, without you building, maintaining, or certifying them yourself.
- What it does
- We become the compliant data-in-motion layer of your platform. Sensitive data moves safely every time it moves, whether it is sent, shared, exported, or passed to an AI model.
- What changes
- "We handle sensitive data" stops being a liability and becomes a reason your customers choose you.
03 / What you're integrating
Five controls, one embedded layer.
Drop DataGuard into your product and inherit a complete data-protection stack: detection, policy, redaction, and a zero trust foundation, all held to enterprise and government standards.
Entity recognition
Our engine automatically identifies sensitive data the moment it moves: PII, PHI, financial records, privileged material, and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), across both structured and unstructured content. No manual tagging, no brittle keyword lists.
Policy engine
A configurable rules engine decides what counts as sensitive and what happens next (redact, alias, flag, block, or log) based on your customer's regulatory regime and your own data-handling policies. One engine, many policies, applied consistently everywhere your product sends data.
Redaction and aliasing
Sensitive content is removed or swapped for safe stand-ins before data is sent, shared, exported, or passed to an AI model. Transfers stay fast and stay compliant. And because we alias rather than simply block, your AI features keep working on real data instead of being switched off.
Zero trust by design
DataGuard runs on a zero trust model: no implicit trust, least-privilege access, and protection applied at the point of data movement rather than at a perimeter that has already been crossed. Security travels with the data, not just around it.
SOC 2 Type II
We are actively pursuing SOC 2 Type II attestation, holding our own operations to the same standard your enterprise and government customers expect from every vendor in your stack.
04 / How it integrates
Embed it. Don't build it.
DataGuard is API-first and white-label, so it runs inside your product under your brand and your UX. You ship a compliance-grade capability in weeks instead of quarters, and your engineering roadmap stays on your core product. Deploy in your cloud or fully on-premises.
MODEL 01
API
Call DataGuard from your product and keep your own UI. The fastest path to a working integration.
MODEL 02
Embedded / white-label
DataGuard runs inside your platform under your brand. Your customers never leave your product.
MODEL 03
On-prem / air-gapped
Deploy entirely inside your own infrastructure, including disconnected and air-gapped networks. No outbound dependency required.
05 / Security & data sovereignty
Built for the most sensitive environments.
For government, defense, and regulated work, where the data sits and what touches it matters as much as the result. DataGuard is designed so neither ever leaves your control.
Data residency
In plain terms
Your data stays in your environment and your jurisdiction. Nothing is copied out to be processed.
Under the hood
Deployed in-region; data never leaves your tenancy or crosses borders during processing.
Our own models do the work
In plain terms
Protection is run by Sidian's own purpose-built models. No third-party AI ever sees your data.
Under the hood
No calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any external API. Models are trained and hosted by Sidian on real regulated documents.
On-prem deployable
In plain terms
Run DataGuard entirely inside your own infrastructure, including air-gapped and disconnected environments.
Under the hood
Containerized into your cloud, private cloud, or on-prem / air-gapped network. No outbound dependency required.
Why partners build on DataGuard
Embed a moat, not a cost center.
You bring the platform and the reach. DataGuard brings the protection and the public-sector credibility, already built and already vetted.
Embed, don't build
We are API-first and white-label, so DataGuard runs inside your product under your brand and your UX. You ship a compliance-grade capability in weeks instead of quarters, and your engineering roadmap stays on your core product.
Accelerate your customers' compliance
Our controls map to the frameworks your customers operate under, so integrating DataGuard helps both of you clear security reviews and questionnaires faster.
Differentiate with safe AI
Offer the AI features your competitors have to block, because our aliasing keeps sensitive data out of the model while keeping the output useful.
Lower risk, raise retention
A defensible audit trail reduces breach and data-processing liability for you and your customers, and an embedded compliance layer is deep, sticky, and grows account value over time.
06 / Built for B2G and defense
Selling into government raises the bar. DataGuard clears it.
Selling into government and defense raises the bar, and DataGuard was built to clear it. NIST 800-171, CMMC, and FedRAMP are the security rulebooks the U.S. government holds its vendors to, and DataGuard is built to line up with them. We bring the protection and the public-sector credibility; you bring the platform and the reach.
Proven, not theoretical
Our core IP was procured and proven through a Canadian public-safety procurement, and we continue to operate to those government-grade requirements today. The technology has already been vetted by a public-sector buyer against real security and accountability standards, not a marketing checklist.
Aligned with the standards that govern defense data
Our entity recognition, policy engine, redaction, and audit trail line up with the control families behind NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and FedRAMP, the rules that dictate how Controlled Unclassified Information must be handled across the U.S. defense supply chain.
Zero trust that matches the mandate
Our zero trust foundation aligns with federal and DoD zero-trust requirements, so integrating DataGuard moves your product toward the architecture government buyers now demand, not away from it.
Turn flow-down into a win
CMMC requirements flow down from primes to their subcontractors and partners. Embedding DataGuard lets you answer "how do you handle CUI?" with evidence, turning a procurement blocker into a reason you get selected.
- Canadian public-safety proven
- NIST SP 800-171
- CMMC
- FedRAMP aligned
- DoD Zero Trust
- CUI ready
07 / Let's build together
Give your product a government-ready data layer.
Without building it yourself. We bring the protection and the public-sector credibility; you bring the platform and the reach; your customers get to move fast without tripping a compliance wire.
