ABAC for Unstructured Data

Attribute-based access control that enforces dynamic, classification-aware policy on every file operation — going far beyond static roles.

Attribute-Based Access Control is the access model that makes zero trust practical for unstructured data. BrickStor SP implements ABAC at the storage layer, evaluating every file operation against live policy — so access decisions reflect the current state of the user, the data, and the environment, not a permission set that was correct six months ago.

• Beyond Role-Based Access

  ABAC evaluates permissions based on user attributes (clearance, department, role), data attributes (classification, labels), and context (time, device, location) — enabling access decisions that static roles cannot express.
• Dynamic Policy Enforcement

  Access rights adjust automatically as conditions change — a user's clearance is revoked, a coalition partner's access window expires, or a file is reclassified — without manual permission updates.
• Multilevel Security Support

  Supports unlimited classification markings and document labels, enabling multi-level and multi-category data sharing across security domains within a single storage namespace.
• Zero Trust Data Layer

  Every file access request is evaluated against current policy at the I/O layer — not just at login. ABAC enforcement is continuous, not sessional.
• CUI and Classified Workloads

  Satisfies NIST SP 800-171 requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information and supports classified environments requiring MLS/MCS enforcement on shared infrastructure.
• Compliance Alignment

  Built-in support for HIPAA, CMMC, GDPR, and NIST RMF — traceable, systematic access controls that satisfy auditor requirements without additional tooling.
• Coalition and Multi-Tenant Environments

  Enables secure collaboration across organizational boundaries — NOFORN, REL TO FVEY, clearance-based policy applied dynamically to live file operations.
