Company ships in-document protection that lets AI read a contract without seeing what is confidential inside it

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cyphlens has been named a 2026 Gartner® Cool Vendor™ in “Coolest Vendor Innovations in Data Security report.”

Cyphlens was featured in Gartner® Coolest Vendor Innovations in Data Security, 2026.

Asking AI to help with a document should not mean handing it every confidential detail inside.

You want AI to find the renewal deadline in a customer agreement. You do not want it reading the negotiated price.

Cyphlens encrypts the price inside that agreement while leaving the rest readable. AI can review the document and find the deadline, but sees a cipher where the price would be. Only an authorized person can reveal the protected information. Selected regions are replaced in place, so the file stays an ordinary Word or PDF with no encrypted container, and each region carries its own recipients. One document can disclose different things to different readers.

The capability is generally available today, applied through a Cyphlens skill for Claude.

Cyphlens also protects whole files, up to one terabyte, through the same control. Teams share them through the channels they already use. File content never touches Cyphlens servers, because CypherFile encrypts and decrypts on the sender’s own devices. Senders keep control after sharing: revocation renders a copy permanently inaccessible wherever it traveled, because every open is checked before content is revealed.

“For years, security could largely assume that the person opening a document was the one reading it. That assumption no longer holds. We built Cyphlens so AI can work with the context it needs while sensitive information remains under human control,” said Rocky Motwani, CEO of Cyphlens.

“As AI takes on more document-heavy workflows, security will increasingly center on granular access: what each reader, human or AI, is able to see,” said Rob Keith, Partner at Salesforce Ventures. “Cyphlens is building that control layer, giving organizations governance over sensitive data even after a file leaves their hands.”

AI gets the context it needs. People retain control over what becomes visible.
