Controlling Data Visibility for Secure, Resilient and Sovereign Data Sharing
Secure data sharing should not require trusting the infrastructure that transports,
distributes or stores the data. Ecosteer technology provides a cryptographic overlay that
separates data delivery from data visibility: networks, brokers, clouds and
intermediaries can move the data, while only authorized recipients can make it visible.
Ecosteer protects data at its origin and separates access to the infrastructure from visibility over the data.
Information can be transported, distributed or stored by third-party infrastructure while remaining encrypted and
unintelligible to that infrastructure.
The protection layer is transport-independent and crypto-agile, allowing cryptographic algorithms, keys and
security mechanisms to evolve as threats and requirements change, without redesigning the data-sharing architecture.
Benefits for Stakeholders
Intermediaries & Exchanges
Ecosteer reduces cleartext exposure and limits the impact of infrastructure compromise by separating infrastructure access from data visibility. Intermediaries and Data Exchanges can facilitate discovery, authorization and data delivery without requiring unrestricted access to the cleartext they transport or manage.
Data Recipients
Authorized recipients gain access to high-quality, identifiable and real-time data directly from its source. Each recipient can decrypt only the data products for which visibility has been granted, while the underlying transport and storage infrastructure remains blind to the protected content.
Data Owners
Ecosteer enables individuals and organizations to retain cryptographic control over who can see their data. Visibility can be granted or revoked while protected information remains encrypted across transport, distribution and storage environments that do not need to be trusted.
Technologies
Privacy-Enhancing Cybersecurity Technologies
Traditional data-sharing architectures often expose cleartext to infrastructure providers and create high-value targets for attackers. Ecosteer’s privacy-enhancing cybersecurity technologies protect data at its origin and enforce visibility decisions cryptographically, reducing plaintext exposure and limiting the amount of useful information exposed if transport, cloud or storage infrastructure is compromised.
Data Governance and Security Control
A governance and usability framework for deploying and operating secure data exchanges based on privacy-enhancing technologies. It connects business-level visibility decisions with the cybersecurity mechanisms that enforce origin protection, authorization, revocation and cryptographic lifecycle management.
Why Ecosteer
Strengthening Cybersecurity without Replacing Existing Infrastructure
Ecosteer enables secure and scalable data sharing by protecting data at its origin and separating infrastructure access from data visibility. This reduces cleartext exposure, limits the impact of infrastructure compromise and allows existing networks, brokers, clouds and repositories to continue performing their operational roles.
Patented technologies
Ecosteer’s patented technologies separate access to data-sharing infrastructure from visibility over the data itself. Protected information can flow through existing networks, brokers, clouds and repositories while remaining unintelligible to unauthorized parties and infrastructure operators.
Crypto-agile security
Ecosteer’s crypto-agile architecture allows cryptographic algorithms, providers, keys and security mechanisms to evolve as threats, standards and operational requirements change. Protection can be upgraded without redesigning the data-sharing model or binding it to a single transport or technology provider.
Cybersecurity and Data Control Expertise
Ecosteer combines expertise in data ownership, authorization, encryption, key lifecycle management and distributed architectures. This allows organizations to translate governance and security decisions into technically enforceable visibility controls across real-world data-sharing environments.
Whether data originates from healthcare systems, wearables, energy infrastructure, connected vehicles, industrial equipment or public services, Ecosteer protects it beyond the boundaries of the originating system. Even when data crosses third-party networks, brokers, clouds or repositories, visibility remains cryptographically controlled, strengthening cyber resilience and digital sovereignty.

The QWERTY of Privacy: Why It’s Time to Ditch Default Opt-In
We’ve all seen it: “Click here to agree. Or don’t, but we’ll assume you did anyway.” Meta’s recent move to force users into opting out if they don’t want their data turned into AI gold is just the latest episode in a much longer saga. But it raises a good question: why is opt-in still the default setting in our digital lives?

Data Act Compliance: The Privacy Challenge
The Data Act, which is set to take effect on September 12, 2025, imposes new obligations on providers of connected devices, mandating that device users must be allowed to access and share data generated by their devices with any party of their choice. This regulation is intended to foster a more open data economy. Data Intermediaries, as defined by the Data Governance Act, play a crucial role in this framework by offering the technical infrastructure necessary for facilitating such data sharing.

Decentralizing Data Control: Navigating the EU Data Act and the Future of Data Governance
By 2025, the value of the EU data economy is expected to reach €829 billion, up from €301 billion in 2018. This remarkable growth is supported by new regulations, including the Data Act and Data Governance Act, which aim to promote data circulation and reuse across the EU. These regulations are designed to dismantle existing data silos and foster a more open data economy.
