HOW IT WORKS
How an encrypted workload runs — from the moment it boots to the moment
it gets your data.
1. Workload starts
Hardware encrypts the workload in memory the moment it boots.
2. Identity is proven
The workload must prove it's the right code, unchanged, before operational data is unlocked.
3. Keys release
Data unlocks only for that verified code. Cloud admins, vendors, and operators never see it.
WHY NOW
NIS2 changed who's accountable.
Six pressures are reshaping how critical sectors run sensitive workloads. Confidential Computing answers all of them.
Operational data exposed at runtime
Grid, plant, customer, and engineering data sit unencrypted in memory while applications process them.
NIS2 makes management accountable
Boards of essential entities now carry personal liability for cyber risk management failures.
Supply chain expands attack surface
Managed platforms, service providers, and shared data systems extend the trust boundary outward.
Privileged access stays open
Admins, operators, vendors, and cloud support paths remain difficult to defend in audits.
Incident timelines tighten
NIS2 reporting demands defensible evidence within hours — faster than manual audit collection can deliver.
Audit evidence is manual
BSI, GRC, and supply-chain reviews ask for cryptographic proof your current stack cannot produce.
THE DIFFERENCE
Resilience you can prove, not just describe.
Same workload. Same cloud. Different access surface.

USE CASES
One control pattern for every critical workflow.
Whatever you need to protect, verify, or prove — it runs on the same confidential foundation.
01
Protect data in use
Energy, water & utility platforms
Protect grid, plant, outage, and customer-adjacent data from privileged access.
Industrial manufacturing & chemicals
Shield production data, formulas, supplier portals, and quality systems.
Confidential AI & automation
Protect prompts, documents, embeddings, and decision logs while AI workloads run.
02
Verify workloads & vendors
Digital infrastructure & ICT
Prove tenant separation, customer-held keys, and no-provider-access for regulated customers.
Transport, logistics & postal
Run routing, scheduling, identity, and partner-exchange with consistent runtime controls.
Research & data collaboration
Analyze sensitive datasets with partners without pooling raw data.
03
Prove resilience
Food, waste & environmental
Secure traceability, compliance reporting, and supply-chain data across distributed sites.
NIS2 evidence & incident packs
Turn attestation, key release, and access events into NIS2 evidence on demand.
WHERE TO START
Start with the outcome you need to unlock.
You make decisions for critical infrastructure. Here's what Confidential Computing can do for you.
CEO / Managing director
Demonstrate NIS2 due care
Show provable controls around crown-jewel workloads — the personal-accountability layer of NIS2.
CISO
Material risk reduction
Close privileged-access and data-in-use exposure paths with controls you can prove.
Procurement / Vendor Mgmt
Third-party risk leverage
Cut vendor-risk friction, duplicated controls, and lock-in across cloud and platform suppliers.
CIO / IT strategy
Operational resilience
Standardize controls across hybrid, cloud, and Kubernetes estates without slowing delivery.
CTO / Platform / SRE
Secure modernization
Add confidential VMs, Kubernetes, key release, and workload identity without rewrites.
GRC / Audit
Continuous evidence
Replace manual evidence with runtime proof mapped to NIS2, GDPR, CRA, and internal controls.
BOOK A WORKLOAD ASSESSMENT
Validate your first regulatory-grade workload.
Bring one KRITIS workload, NIS2 question, AI use case, cloud constraint, or open privacy review.
Leave with a practical pilot path for confidential computing,
customer-held keys, and automated evidence.
