Breach cost is driven in large part by what can be done with stolen data after the incident. Insurers and underwriters need clearer technical information about how an insured controls that stage.
PastWipe™ reduces the usable value of stolen or exfiltrated data outside approved conditions and records each control decision as evidence. It complements the insured's existing SOC, SIEM, EDR, IAM and DLP controls. It does not replace them.
What PastWipe offers insurers
- A post-breach control signal: whether selected high-value data is protected by policy and validated at the point of use.
- Evidence for claims review: records showing what protected data was requested after an incident, and what was permitted, denied or degraded.
- Integration with incident response: works within the insured's existing security and IR workflows.
Example workflows (illustrative)
- Underwriting review: an insured shows which data classes are under PastWipe policy, and how evidence records are produced and retained.
- Claims assessment: after an incident, evidence records help separate what was attempted from what was allowed, supporting a faster, better-informed assessment.
- Portfolio view: insurers can ask for consistent evidence formats across insureds. Where several parties need to exchange evidence, the optional RepSec™ protocol framework is designed for that.
What PastWipe is, and is not
- Is: post-breach data control with measurable outputs.
- Is: complementary to existing controls.
- Is not: a replacement for prevention tools.
- Is not: a guarantee that stolen data cannot be used. Results depend on integration, workflow and whether unrestricted plaintext copies exist.
