Kriptos

Market position

Kriptos competes in the data discovery, classification and unstructured data security category, differentiating on classification of business-sensitive documents that contain no PII. It reports customers in more than 10 countries across the United States and Latin America and describes itself as in an aggressive growth phase with a stated goal of growing 10x in customers, revenue and product impact over five years.

The company's stated differentiator is classification of documents that contain no personally identifiable information — which it says represent 72% of enterprise documents and are ignored by tools tuned to PII and PCI data — using contextual multi-model AI, combined with customization of its classification algorithm to each client's internal classification policies and with labeling that plugs into existing DLP and CASB enforcement.

Technology

The platform runs a multi-AI classification engine that applies several specialized models to document content rather than keyword or pattern rules. It detects the type and quantity of PII to score sensitivity and criticality, and applies contextual analysis of content, structure, terminology and business context to documents without PII. Behavioral analytics evaluate unusual access, risky storage locations and anomalous modification to flag possible insider risk, feeding a final business-aware risk score. Classification and labeling use native Google Workspace and Microsoft Purview labels plus Kriptos metadata labels. The infrastructure is built on a Google technology stack, including Google Workspace APIs for discovery and classification in Google Drive and Shared Drive and Google Data Loss Prevention native classification labels. Product roadmap work has focused on NLP-based data analytics and AI, and the company has published material on anonymization and encryption used in model training.
