Go from Zero to Zero Trust. Data Governance: Know and Control Your Data Everywhere.
About us
XQ is a zero trust data platform for unified data classification and data loss prevention.
Loss of data control is the greatest obstacle to achieving robust cybersecurity and compliance. Organizations today face three primary challenges in this area:
Identifying Data: Many organizations struggle with understanding exactly what data they possess. Without clear visibility into their data, they cannot properly protect or manage it, leaving sensitive information vulnerable to breaches.
Controlling Access: Once data is identified, the next challenge is determining who can access it. Managing permissions and ensuring the right people—and only the right people—have access to sensitive data is critical for minimizing risk.
Dynamic Data Management: Effective data security and compliance require the ability to label data appropriately and control its access dynamically. Organizations need the capability to remotely switch data access on or off, ensuring compliance and protecting sensitive information in real-time.
By addressing these challenges, organizations can regain control over their data and better safeguard their assets against cyber threats while maintaining compliance with regulations.
XQ is part of the AWS Zero Trust for Government Partnership, supporting the 5 Zero Trust pillars along with Okta, Zscalar, Splunk, and Crowdstrike.
This is a zero to Zero Trust blueprint for how an organization can meet all the 91 DoD requirements for compliance mandated by 2026.
XQ acts as data leash that stops exfiltration, blocks lateral movement, labels data, and provides record-level security everywhere.
XQ's data traceability feature supports compliance requirements such as DoD Zero Trust, CMMC, HIPAA and NIST.

XQ reposted this
DoD: "Software companies make software, we're going to buy software from software companies" Good, positive move including a direct military order from the SecDef to make this happen. But keep in mind the struggle to do things smart is not over. The many agencies and Services in DoD have spent years avoiding change. All of us advocating for positive change should see this memo as a victory, but we should all keep doing what we can to keep moving forward.

Healthcare CISOs Are Facing a Ransomware Extortion Crisis—Here’s How to Fight Back Ransomware attacks against healthcare organizations are no longer just about encryption—they now come with double extortion tactics, where stolen patient data is leaked if a ransom isn’t paid. CISOs are under immense pressure to protect sensitive medical records while maintaining compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, and new federal cybersecurity mandates. Traditional network-based defenses aren’t enough. Attackers are targeting backups, exfiltrating data, and threatening to expose PHI to force payouts. The solution? A Zero Trust Data Security approach that ensures that even if data is stolen, it remains unusable to attackers. 🔹 How XQ Helps Healthcare CISOs: ✅ Data-Centric Security – Protects data at rest, in transit, and even when exfiltrated. ✅ Prevents Double Extortion – Encrypted data remains useless to attackers. ✅ Rapid Compliance Readiness – Meets HIPAA, NIST, and HHS cybersecurity mandates. ✅ Seamless Integration – Works across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. Healthcare CISOs need to move beyond perimeter security and adopt a proactive data protection strategy. If attackers can’t use your data, they can’t extort you.
