The Problem

Your Security Controls Are Not Enough. Is Your Sensitive Data Protected?

Most organizations already invest heavily in firewalls, access controls, monitoring tools, and database security.

The challenge is that these controls primarily protect systems and infrastructure.

Sensitive data continues to move across applications, APIs, reports, logs, backups, cloud platforms, vendors, and third-party environments.

The real question is no longer:

Will we be targeted?

The real question is:

If sensitive data is exposed, will it still be protected?

Traditional security tools focus on preventing access, but once attackers bypass the perimeter, sensitive data can still be exposed. Companies need a stronger layer that keeps critical data unreadable, controlled, and protected even in high-risk environments.

Compliance Starts with Protection

Data protection shouldn’t require trade-offs between security, cost, complexity, and speed. HIVE is designed to help organizations strengthen data protection while maintaining operational efficiency.

Time

Accelerate Your Data Protection Journey

Traditional data protection initiatives can take months to implement across applications, databases, and infrastructure. HIVE enables organizations to validate and deploy protection in as little as five days, helping teams achieve faster security outcomes with minimal disruption.

Cost

Reduce Complexity. Lower Costs.

Many security projects require extensive database modifications, infrastructure changes, and ongoing maintenance. HIVE protects sensitive data without schema changes, helping organizations reduce implementation effort and long-term operational costs.

Ease

One Protection Layer Across Your Environment

Managing different protection methods across multiple systems creates unnecessary complexity. HIVE works across applications, databases, and technology environments, providing a unified approach to protecting sensitive data wherever it resides.

Faster Integration. Protect sensitive fields with minimal impact on existing applications, workflows, and development roadmaps.

Built for Real-World Environments. Designed to work with the systems, databases, and architectures organizations already rely on, enabling faster adoption and lower implementation effort.

01

Add the SDK Reference

Import the HIVE enterprise services namespace into your .NET project.

using HIVE.EnterprisServices;
02

Create the FLE Manager

Instantiate the HIVE field-level encryption manager and point it to your production key.

HIVE_FLE_Manager HiveSDK = new HIVE_FLE_Manager();
03

Load, Encrypt, Decrypt

Load the key once, encrypt before storage, and decrypt after retrieval.

HiveSDK.Enc(employeeID)
Manager Setup. Workflow Ready.

Load the key, then call HiveSDK.Enc()

The HIVE SDK manager handles key loading plus explicit encrypt and decrypt calls inside your existing application flow.

* Illustrative example - not a complete or real implementation.

EmployeeEncryption.cs
//1. Add Reference to HIVE SDK
using HIVE.EnterprisServices;

//2.Declare and create an instance of HIVE SDK Field-Level Encryption (FLE) Class
HIVE_FLE_Manager HiveSDK = new HIVE_FLE_Manager();

string hiveKeyFilePath = @"..\\..\\hiveProductionKey.HSK";

//3. Load HIVE Encryption Key
HiveSDK.LoadKey(hiveKeyFilePath, HIVEKeyEnvironment.PRODUCTION);

int employeeID = 1233454;

//......encrypt field using HIVE SDK..........
int encryptedEmpID = HiveSDK.Enc(employeeID);
//......insert encrypted field into Database............

//......retrieve encrypted field from database......
//......decrypt using HIVE SDK
int decryptedID = HiveSDK.Dec(encryptedEmpID);

Native Support for Data Types

HIVE is designed to support native data types while preserving the format and structure applications depend on. Protected values maintain field characteristics, reducing the need for schema modifications and minimizing development effort.

Broad Database Compatibility

Modern organizations rarely operate on a single database technology. HIVE works across mixed database environments through the application layer, providing a consistent approach to data protection across more than 40 database types.

Searchable & Indexable Data

Data protection shouldn’t come at the expense of functionality. HIVE supports exact-match search and indexing capabilities for validated use cases, allowing teams to query protected data while maintaining security controls.

HIVE Trust Center

Protect Data Beyond Your Control

Sensitive data rarely stays within one environment. It moves across vendors, cloud platforms, partners, applications, backups, and third-party systems, creating exposure risks beyond your direct control.

HIVE protects sensitive data at the field level, helping organizations maintain protection even when data is shared, replicated, or accessed across external environments.

Protected data staying encrypted as it moves across vendors, cloud, and backups

Key Areas of Protection

Third-Party Data Protection

Keep sensitive information protected when shared with vendors, partners, cloud providers, and external platforms, reducing reliance on external security controls.

Controlled Data Sharing

Enable business collaboration while minimizing exposure of readable sensitive information outside approved use cases.

Backup & Copy Protection

Extend protection across backups, exports, reports, and duplicate data stores where sensitive information may exist.

Incident Exposure Reduction

Support faster assessment of whether compromised data remained protected during a security event.
