What is Locktera?
Locktera is a persistent data governance and security platform that protects sensitive files throughout their lifecycle.
Instead of relying only on the security of the system where a file is stored. Locktera attaches encryotion, access rules, DRM policies, immutability ad audit trails directly to the file—so those protections remain enforceable wherever the file is stored, shared or used.
Encryption
AES-256 with quantum-safe security for long-term protection.
Immutability
Content cannot be modified, replaced or deleted.
Access Controls
Define who can access, internal only, and define location.
Revocation
Change or remove access after distribution.
Usage Rights
View-only, require password, download and sharing restrictions.
Auditability
Complete visibility into file activity.
How Does Locktera Work?
Persistent security and governance follow the file wherever it moves.
1. Protect
The file is encrypted before it leaves a trusted environment.
2. Apply Policy
Access controls, usage rules and expiration dates are attached.
3. Store or Share
The protected file moves through applications, cloud, email, AI workflows or external environments.
4. Verify Access
Identity and policy are evaluated every time the file is opened.
5. Audit Activity
All access, downloads, denials and policy events are recorded.
Why Traditional Security Isn't Enough
Traditional security protects the system or storage location. Once a file is downloaded, copied, shared or introduced into an AI workflow, those protections may no longer apply.
Locktera protects the content itself—so your security travels with the file, not just the folder.
Traditional Security
Protects the system or storage location
May lose visibility after download
Depends on repository permissions
Revocation may stop at the application boundary
Locktera Persistent Security
Protect the individual file
Re-evaluates access wherever it resides
Maintins control after distribution
Access can be revoked at the file level

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Locktera?
Locktera is a persistent data security platform that protects files with encryption, access controls, governance policies, and audit trails that remain with the file wherever it is stored or shared. Unlike traditional security that protects only networks or storage, Locktera secures the data itself.
How is Locktera different from traditional cybersecurity solutions?
Traditional security products focus on protecting networks, devices, cloud environments, or storage systems. Once a file leaves those environments, protection is often lost. Locktera embeds security directly into the file so encryption, access controls, and governance remain in effect across applications, email, cloud storage, AI workflows, backups, and external collaboration.
What is persistent data security?
Persistent data security means security stays with the file itself—not the infrastructure. Every protected file carries its own encryption, access policies, Digital Rights Management (DRM), and audit capabilities wherever it is copied, stored, or shared.
What problems does Locktera solve?
Locktera helps organizations:
- Protect sensitive files wherever they travel
- Secure AI workflows and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems
- Secure email attachments and external collaboration
- Protect cloud storage and backups
- Reduce storage costs with encrypted deduplication
- Improve compliance with detailed audit trails and access controls
How does Locktera work?
Locktera follows a simple workflow:
- Encrypt the file before it leaves a trusted environment.
- Attach security policies and access controls.
- Store or share the protected file anywhere.
- Verify identity every time the file is opened.
- Record all access and policy events in a complete audit trail.
Because security is embedded into the file, protection remains in place regardless of where the file is stored.
