Truestone Secure Information Sharing Architecture (SISA)



Collaborate across organizational boundaries while truly protecting sensitive content
and guarding your infrastructure & information.


The balance between sharing information freely and guarding security is one of the biggest hurdles in today’s IT world.  Organizations recognize the urgency to share protected information within, across and among agencies, allies and other communities of interest.  With each organization having its own proprietary infrastructure, however, it has become nearly impossible to accomplish this goal.



SISA provides the tools to do just that.  It is a framework for protecting sensitive content in a secure collaboration environment.  Developed in a partnership between IT industry leaders and designed initially to meet the stringent information-sharing requirements of today’s military environment, SISA is now being adopted by other government entities, with clear potential to serve the private sector as well.

SISA Components

  • Protect end-devices — authenticate the computer or other device (starting with the user’s login) and determine which parts of the network the user is permitted to access.  This access-based protection follows the user throughout each login session.
  • Protect networks — prevent unauthorized users or computers from accessing the network.
  • Guard content — protect against inappropriate disclosure of communications, files and other documents.
  • Safeguard data — protect data “at rest” from unauthorized access or other data breach.
  • Monitor the system — intelligent auditing & analysis help manage and respond to network attacks.

Your Bottom Line

  • True collaboration — permissions-based authorization ensures the right users have access to the right information at the right time.
  • Real-time control — users set levels of accessibility for docs and communications; constraints follow the information in transit and ensure that only the appropriate users will be able to access it.
  • Affordability — builds on your existing IT investments and infrastructure.
  • Integrated, multi-layer security — information and access are authenticated at multiple points of transit and at rest.
  • Up-to-the minute alerts & notification — monitoring of information and usage patterns, alerting administrators to potential security breaches, including automated emergency network lockdowns.
