The sombra difference

Keep your data safe, where it already sits

Sombra sits inside your infrastructure, not ours. It enforces every data decision under your security policies. Your data never leaves your environment, and Transcend never see it.

CUSTOMER DATA

SOMBRA

Transcend enables data activation by encoding data permissions

directly into the systems

that process customer data.

With Sombra, secure-by-design architecture protecting

even the most sensitive data use cases with end-to-end encryption.

Our solutionData discovery and governance without exposure

Two flowcharts compare data handling: Most APIs show unencrypted user data visible to competitors, while Transcend encrypts user data in its cloud.

Transcend's backend never has access to your API keys. Instead, Sombra manages access to your business systems, with a built-in key management system that can optionally delegate to your own KMS (like AWS KMS) for HSM-backed key management. Transcend cannot connect to your systems directly. Sombra always sits in between.

Dedicated to rigorous security standards

Transcend regularly attains SOC 2 (Type II) and ISO 27001 compliance, reflecting our unwavering commitment to security.

Two certification logos: AICPA SOC with a blue circular design, and ISO 27001, featuring a globe and text indicating information security management certification.

Every Integration runs through Sombra

Whether you're connecting 4 systems or 400, every request passes through Sombra: tokenized, authenticated, and encrypted before it ever reaches Transcend. More integrations never means more exposure.
