Encrypted Document Discovery
Audit
Every enterprise has shared drives full of password-protected ZIPs, encrypted PDFs, and Office docs locked years ago by people who no longer work there. They are invisible to DLP, opaque to backup verification, and indistinguishable from ransomware payloads in a real incident. We discover them, classify the risk, and tell you which ones to break open before an attacker does.

Did your team cover these critical blindspots?
The most commonly overlooked attack vectors in Data Discovery environments—validated through hundreds of enterprise engagements.
Encrypted files no one owns
40,000 files on the fileshare are password-protected. Half of them are older than the laptops they were created on. No DLP product can see inside them, and no human remembers what they contain.
Indistinguishable from ransomware
When a ransomware incident hits, IR teams cannot tell legitimate encrypted business data from attacker-encrypted files. Recovery time doubles. Insurance coverage gets contested.
Exfiltration channels in plain sight
Encrypted archives are the easiest data-exfil container in the world. They sail through email gateways, DLP rules, and CASB inspection because the policy assumes "encrypted = approved".

Main Assessment Coverage
- Encrypted-Artifact Inventory (Shared Drives + Cloud)
- Format Coverage: ZIP, RAR, 7z, PDF, Office, KDBX
- Age & Ownership Heatmap
- Targeted Password Cracking (Customer-Authorised Wordlists)
- Forgotten-Artifact Risk Classification
- Ransomware-Confusion Risk Map

Flexible Network Execution
Discovery runs from a customer-supplied jump host with read-only credentials. Cracking is performed in our isolated GPU cluster only on hashes you explicitly authorise — original files never leave your environment.
Route assessment engines through your designated corporate IPs to simplify allowlisting, avoid WAF alarms, and maintain a clean audit trail satisfying internal security policies.
Transparent Licensing
One-time execution license. No subscriptions. No hidden fees.
