Make stolen data unreadable.
Ghostables seals sensitive data before it is stored, and flags any record that is changed behind your back.
In production
Live in a healthcare messaging deployment
Many staff work on the same sealed patient records at once, every day.

Filed in October 2025, each covering a distinct mechanism.
Your infrastructure
No data is sent to Ghostables
The platform runs in your application and database, in your cloud and your region.
The breach was never the problem. The readable data was.
For decades the answer to breaches has been higher walls: firewalls, access controls, tighter perimeters. The walls keep falling, and when they do, every record behind them can be read.
Ghostables changes what sits behind the wall. Sensitive data is sealed before it is stored, so a stolen copy holds no readable records, and changes made behind your back are flagged.
Sealed data that teams can still work on
Keeping data unreadable to the operator is straightforward when one person holds one key. Organisations do not work that way: care teams, case teams and finance teams need the same records at the same moment, and people join and leave every week.
Ghostables keeps records sealed from the operator while many authorised people work on them together. That is the hard part, and it is already running in production.
Protected from the moment a record is written
Four things happen to every sensitive record, without changing how your people or your applications work.
Sealed at the source
Sensitive fields are sealed on the user’s side before they reach your database. Your servers store and serve them, but cannot read what they store.
Fingerprinted and chained
Each protected write carries a fingerprint and is linked to the write before it. Changing or removing a past record breaks the chain in a way that cannot be hidden.
Checked continuously
Live records are checked against their seals. Anything altered, deleted or inserted outside the proper path is flagged, record by record.
Evidence you can hand over
Any record can be packaged with its verification evidence, so auditors and regulators can check it for themselves rather than taking your word for it.
Built for the threats that walls do not stop
Conventional encryption protects data sitting on a disk. It does little against anyone who can reach that data while the system is running.
| Threat | Conventional encryption at rest | With Ghostables |
|---|---|---|
| A stolen database or backup | Protected only if the keys were kept somewhere else | Sealed records. The keys never reach the server. |
| A compromised server or cloud account | Readable to whoever controls the running system | Records already stored stay sealed. Data entered while an attacker controls the service is at risk until they are removed. |
| An insider with administrator access | Administrators can usually read everything | Operators cannot read sealed data on the server, in the database or in backups, even with full access |
| A legal demand made to the operator | The operator can be compelled to hand over readable records | The operator holds only sealed records. Lawful requests go to the people who hold the keys. |
| A record quietly altered or deleted | Often invisible when the audit log lives in the same system | Changes made outside the protected path are flagged at verification |
| A key exposed at some later date | One key can open the entire history | Exposure is limited to a narrow recent window |
Ghostables is one layer of a security programme. It does not replace access control, patching or monitoring, and it cannot protect data on a device that is compromised while its owner is signed in, or data entered while an attacker controls the service that delivers your application.
The platform
Three layers of protection on one foundation
Integrity, zero-knowledge encryption and access governance, built on Ghost Tables and backed by independent proof.
Integrity and tamper evidence
Every protected write is sealed, chained and checked, so changes made outside the proper path show up at verification.
Learn moreZero-knowledge encryption
Data is sealed before it leaves the user’s side. Your infrastructure stores it without ever being able to read it.
Learn moreGhost Tables
Live records and retired ones look identical from outside, so stored data gives an observer nothing to work with.
Learn moreAccess governance
Many people can work on the same sealed records, each with exactly the access they were given, and no more.
Learn moreIndependent proof
Integrity evidence is designed to be checked outside your organisation. Independent anchoring is being rolled out in stages.
Learn moreThe Ghostables Standard
A mark that means something, because anyone can check it
The Ghostables Standard defines what it takes for sensitive data to count as properly protected. The Protected by Ghostables mark shows that a site runs a current Ghostables product under an active licence, and links to a live verification page anyone can open. Organisations assessed against the full Standard become Ghostables Certified.
- The same written criteria for every organisation
- A status that is rechecked every day
- A public verification page behind every mark
