Capability sets are grouped by role, with security and governance functions for CISOs and CIOs and analytics and optimisation functions for CDOs and Chief AI Officers. The site states 1 billion+ transactions per month, 550k+ users, 30 minutes to activation and 72 hours to ROI.

Portal26's GenAI Governance Suite addresses two of the three responsible AI requirements set out in the company's CXO guide. Portal26 Trail is described as a GenAI governance and AI TRiSM platform supporting responsible usage of generative AI across the enterprise. Portal26 AI Vault supports responsible creation of generative AI through clean training data pipelines. The guide frames these against two categories of GenAI risk: model risk, covering errors, bias, bad data and compliance loss, and usage risk, covering inappropriate use and loss of data, privacy, intellectual property and visibility.

• Portal26 Trail — responsible GenAI usage and AI TRiSM
• Portal26 AI Vault — responsible GenAI creation via clean training data pipelines
• Suite addresses responsible usage and responsible creation

The Portal26 Plugin for Elasticsearch delivers NIST FIPS 140-2 validated searchable encryption-in-use for enterprise search environments. Portal26 notes that Elasticsearch indexes cannot normally be encrypted without losing search functionality, leaving live data exposed to external attackers and insiders even where at-rest and in-transit encryption are applied. With the plugin, sensitive data is preprocessed and encrypted before indexing, queries are intercepted and reformulated to execute in encrypted form, and results are released in encrypted form by default.

• FIPS 140-2 encryption of indexes
• Full-featured search and analytics on encrypted data
• Release of data in nine secure and private formats
• Protection of query parameters
• Clear-text access on a least-privilege basis
• BYOK/HYOK deployment at any granularity

• Encryption-in-use / searchable encryption
• Traditional encryption
• Format Preserving Encryption (FPE)
