Enterprise data protection software for sensitive data that cannot depend on trust alone

RED is Rhea’s enterprise data protection software.

It is built to protect sensitive documents, credentials, records, files, secure notes, API keys, business data, and operationally critical information before they become exposed to storage systems, cloud providers, backend environments, administrators, vendors, automation, or AI workflows.

RED does not replace existing infrastructure.

It adds a stronger protection model above it.

Organizations can keep using their cloud, storage, systems, teams, vendors, and workflows — while RED keeps sensitive data encrypted, access-controlled, auditable, and separated from the systems that store or move it.

The core idea is simple:

the system that stores or manages data should not automatically be the system that can read it.

That is what RED is built for.

​

The problem RED solves

​

Most companies protect access to systems.

But the data inside those systems is still often exposed to too many places.

Cloud providers.
Storage layers.
Backend services.
Internal administrators.
Support paths.
Automation tools.
External processors.
AI systems.
Employee devices.
Vendors.
Integrations.
Logs.
Backups.
Misconfigured permissions.
Compromised environments.

Even strong companies often still depend on one weak assumption:

that every privileged system involved in handling sensitive data can be trusted.

RED is built for organizations that do not want sensitive data security to depend only on that assumption.

RED protects the data itself before it enters the storage or workflow path.

So even if infrastructure is shared, distributed, outsourced, misconfigured, or exposed to multiple internal and external systems, the sensitive data remains protected by a separate cryptographic control model.

​

What RED is

​

RED is zero-knowledge enterprise data protection software.

It is designed to protect sensitive data before storage, control access through cryptographic authorization, and reduce unnecessary plaintext exposure across modern enterprise environments.

RED is not just cloud storage.
RED is not just server-side encryption.
RED is not just a secure folder.
RED is not a collaboration tool with encryption added later.
RED is not another system that asks organizations to blindly trust the backend.

RED is software for protecting the data itself.

It gives organizations a stronger way to store, share, move, migrate, govern, and access sensitive information without making the storage provider, backend, or administrator the default trust boundary.

​

What RED protects

​

RED is built for many types of sensitive enterprise information, including:

• confidential documents

• legal files

• financial records

• contracts

• internal reports

• regulated data

• identity-related records

• business-critical files

• secure notes

• passwords and sensitive operational notes

• API keys

• credentials

• access tokens

• database connection details

• customer information

• government or institutional records

• vendor-shared data

• AI and automation workflow inputs

• data stored across cloud or object storage environments

RED is not only about protecting files.

It is about protecting the sensitive information companies actually depend on.

​

How RED protects data

​

RED uses a zero-knowledge architecture designed to keep plaintext out of the default infrastructure path.

Sensitive data is encrypted before storage using client-side encryption.

At a high level, RED includes:

• client-side encryption before storage

• AES-256-GCM encryption

• per-document encryption keys

• unique encryption handling per protected object

• wrapped-key architecture

• key separation between data and access control

• controlled key-release flows

• cryptographic authorization for decryption-related operations

• policy-based access control

• audit logging

• tamper-evident audit concepts

• key rotation support

• secure sharing controls

• secure notes for secrets, credentials, and API keys

• large-file support through chunked encryption

• Bring Your Own Storage support

• migration of existing storage into RED protection

• storage mobility between supported environments

• controlled external access

• support for advanced key recovery and key-splitting models, including Shamir-style recovery concepts where configured

The result is a much stronger model than ordinary storage encryption.

In RED, storage is treated as infrastructure.

Protection is treated as a separate security layer controlled by the organization.

​

Protection before storage

​

RED protects sensitive data before it is stored.

That matters because once plaintext enters a storage system, backend service, vendor environment, or internal workflow, the organization is already relying on that environment not to expose it.

RED changes the order.

The data is protected first.

Then it can be stored, shared, moved, migrated, or processed under stronger control.

This reduces the number of systems and people that can ever see plaintext by default.

The goal is direct:

control over infrastructure should not automatically mean control over sensitive data.

​

Secure notes, API keys, and operational secrets

​

Many companies protect documents but still leave highly sensitive operational secrets scattered across tools, messages, dashboards, internal notes, spreadsheets, and developer environments.

RED is designed to protect not only files, but also secure notes and sensitive operational information.

That includes API keys, credentials, access tokens, database connection details, recovery notes, internal secrets, and other information that should not be casually visible across the organization.

This makes RED useful not only for document protection, but also for everyday enterprise security operations.

A company can use RED to protect the information that gives access to other systems.

That is extremely important.

Because if API keys, credentials, and internal secrets are exposed, the damage can go far beyond one file.

​

Secure sharing without collapsing into broad trust

​

RED is built for controlled sharing.

Organizations need to share sensitive data internally and externally, but sharing should not mean losing control.

RED supports secure sharing across:

• teams

• departments

• administrators

• employees

• external partners

• vendors

• auditors

• processors

• controlled third-party environments

The important part is not only that data can be shared.

The important part is that access remains governed by the protection model.

Access should be explicit.
Access should be auditable.
Access should be revocable where the model supports it.
Access should not automatically give broad backend visibility.
Access should not require copying plaintext into uncontrolled environments.

RED is built for serious sharing, not casual file sending.

​

Audit logs and accountability

​

Encryption alone is not enough for serious organizations.

They also need to know what happened.

RED is designed with auditability and accountability in mind.

Organizations need answers to questions like:

• who accessed sensitive data

• who shared it

• who granted access

• when access happened

• what object was involved

• what policy applied

• what action was taken

• whether access was approved or denied

• how protected data moved across systems

• what happened during key-release or decryption-related flows

RED is built to support structured audit logs and tamper-evident audit concepts so security-relevant activity can be reviewed with stronger integrity expectations.

This matters for security teams, compliance teams, legal teams, executives, and government or regulated environments.

A weak audit log only records events.

A stronger audit model helps defend the integrity of what was recorded.

​

Key control, key rotation, and recovery

​

RED is built around serious key control.

The protection model is not based on one broad shared key that unlocks everything.

RED uses a more granular architecture with per-document encryption keys, wrapped-key logic, and explicit authorization around access to protected data.

This gives organizations a stronger foundation for:

• reducing blast radius

• separating storage from protection

• rotating keys where needed

• controlling decryption-related access

• limiting unnecessary plaintext exposure

• supporting recovery models

• supporting advanced key-splitting or Shamir-style recovery concepts where configured

This matters because key management is one of the most important parts of real data protection.

If the keys are too broadly exposed, the encryption becomes much weaker in practice.

RED is designed to make key control part of the product’s core security model, not an afterthought.

​

Bring Your Own Storage

​

RED supports Bring Your Own Storage.

That means organizations can keep data in their own supported storage environments while RED applies the protection model above that storage.

Supported storage environments include:

• AWS S3

• Google Cloud Storage

• Microsoft Azure Storage

• Oracle Cloud storage environments

• MinIO and compatible object storage

This is important for enterprises, governments, regulated organizations, and buyers with strict procurement, jurisdiction, compliance, or infrastructure requirements.

RED does not force every customer into one storage model.

The organization can keep control over where data lives while RED controls how the data is protected.

​

Migration of existing storage into RED protection

​

Many organizations already have sensitive data sitting in cloud storage.

RED is designed to support adoption of existing storage into the RED protection model.

That means existing data in customer-owned storage can be migrated by re-processing it through RED’s encryption flow, so from that point forward it is stored as RED-protected encrypted data.

This matters because companies do not always start with a clean environment.

They already have files.
They already have buckets.
They already have storage providers.
They already have sensitive data sitting somewhere.

RED gives them a path to strengthen protection without rebuilding everything from zero.

After migration, the storage provider may still store the encrypted objects, but it does not automatically get plaintext visibility.

That is the difference.

​

Storage mobility

​

RED is also designed for storage flexibility.

Organizations should not be trapped just because sensitive data is tied to one storage provider.

Because RED separates protection from storage, protected data can be aligned with different supported storage environments over time.

That gives organizations more freedom to:

• move between supported storage providers

• adjust cloud strategy

• support multi-cloud requirements

• satisfy jurisdictional or procurement changes

• reduce dependency on one provider

• keep the protection model consistent while infrastructure changes

Storage should be replaceable.

Protection should remain attached to the data.

That is the RED model.

​

Built for AI, automation, and external systems

​

Companies increasingly want to use AI, analytics, automation, workflow engines, vendors, and external processors.

But every additional system that touches plaintext increases risk.

RED is built for this reality.

It helps organizations create stronger control around how sensitive data is accessed, shared, and used in modern workflows.

The future question is not whether companies will use AI and automation.

They will.

The real question is:

under what protection model will sensitive data be allowed to interact with those systems?

RED is designed for organizations that want the benefits of modern workflows without giving every connected system broad plaintext access by default.

​

Governance for serious organizations

​

RED is built for real organizational complexity.

That includes environments with:

• multiple users

• multiple teams

• admins and members

• internal and external sharing

• vendors and processors

• regulated data

• cloud storage requirements

• audit requirements

• security policies

• sensitive credentials

• secure notes

• large files

• migration needs

• AI and automation workflows

• strict access boundaries

This makes RED relevant to technical and non-technical decision-makers.

For security teams, RED gives stronger protection and access control.

For legal and compliance teams, RED gives better auditability and governance.

For executives, RED reduces exposure around the company’s most sensitive information.

For IT and infrastructure teams, RED works with existing storage instead of forcing unnecessary replacement.

For developers and operations teams, RED can protect API keys, credentials, secure notes, and sensitive operational data.

For government and regulated buyers, RED supports a stronger model where infrastructure trust is reduced and sensitive data remains protected across environments.

​

What makes RED different

​

RED is different because it does not treat encryption as a checkbox.

It treats data protection as the core product.

RED is built around:

• enterprise data protection software

• zero-knowledge architecture

• client-side encryption before storage

• separation between storage and protection

• cryptographic access control

• per-document key handling

• wrapped-key architecture

• controlled key release

• secure notes and secrets protection

• secure sharing

• audit logs

• tamper-evident audit concepts

• policy-based access

• key rotation

• advanced recovery and key-splitting concepts

• BYOS support

• managed storage flexibility

• migration of existing storage

• storage mobility

• large encrypted file handling

• vendor and external access control

• AI and automation readiness

• governance for serious organizations

This is why RED is not just secure storage.

RED is software for reducing who can actually see, access, move, share, and misuse sensitive data.

​

Who RED is for

​

RED is built for organizations where ordinary trust assumptions are not enough.

That includes companies, institutions, and government-related environments handling:

• confidential business data

• regulated information

• financial records

• legal documents

• customer data

• internal reports

• credentials and API keys

• sensitive operational notes

• intellectual property

• strategic documents

• vendor-shared information

• cloud-stored files

• AI or automation workflow data

RED is for organizations that understand a simple truth:

if sensitive data can become visible too easily inside the system, the system is weaker than it looks.

​

The RED advantage

​

RED gives organizations a stronger way to protect sensitive data without forcing them to abandon their existing infrastructure.

It helps them:

• protect data before storage

• reduce plaintext exposure

• keep storage and protection separate

• use their own storage

• migrate existing storage into stronger protection

• move protected data across supported storage environments

• securely share sensitive information

• protect secure notes, credentials, and API keys

• control access cryptographically

• rotate and manage keys more safely

• support advanced recovery models

• audit sensitive activity

• govern access across teams, vendors, systems, and workflows

• prepare for AI and automation without uncontrolled plaintext exposure

RED exists for organizations that need more than trusted infrastructure.

It exists for organizations that need sensitive data to remain protected even when it moves.

​

Final positioning

​

RED is Rhea’s enterprise data protection software for sensitive information that cannot depend on trust alone.

It protects data before storage, separates protection from infrastructure, keeps access under cryptographic control, supports secure sharing, protects documents and secrets, enables BYOS and storage mobility, migrates existing storage into stronger protection, supports key rotation and advanced recovery models, and gives organizations auditability over how sensitive data is accessed, shared, moved, and used.

RED does not replace enterprise infrastructure.

RED protects what moves through it.
