Enabling Secure Collaboration and Compliance for Global Chemical Innovators
The chemical industry thrives on innovation and global collaboration but faces challenges in safeguarding intellectual property (IP) and meeting complex regulatory requirements—including REACH, ITAR/EAR, OSHA, EPA, and EH&S standards. As companies share formulations, process models, and technical data across R&D partnerships, joint ventures, and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), they face heightened risks of insider threats, data leaks, and unauthorized disclosure, which can compromise both competitive advantage and compliance
To overcome these challenges, chemical leaders are embracing Zero Trust Data Security and fine-grained access control to safeguard IP while fostering secure global innovation. With NextLabs, chemical enterprises can unify data protection across PLM, ERP, and collaboration platforms, automatically enforce access rules based on user roles, data sensitivity, and geography, and ensure that confidential R&D information remains secure wherever it travels.

DuPont
DuPont implemented NextLabs’ Zero Trust Data Security to segregate data within its global SAP ERP system in support of the divestiture and transition service agreement (TSA). By centrally enforcing attribute-based policies to ensure users only see and transact data relevant to their own business function, DuPont isolated the divested business population while maintaining confidentiality and preventing wrongful disclosures. With dynamic data segregation, DuPont achieved TSA objectives and protected sensitive information without disrupting existing operations
LyondellBasell
LyondellBasell implemented NextLabs to enforce need-to-know access to sensitive operational and joint-venture data, enabling secure collaboration across business units and partner organizations. Using Dynamic Authorization Policy Management System and Data Access Enforcer (DAE) to define attribute-based access security, NextLabs solution protects trade secrets and prevent unauthorized disclosure by enforcing access controls and masking non-permitted data in real time. With this approach, LyondellBasell meets the data security and intellectual property protection requirements set forth by the Joint Venture Agreement while supporting efficient day-to-day operations.
Delivering Value with Zero Trust Data-Centric Security for Chemical Organizations
Leading Chemical organizations rely on Nextlabs Zero Trust Data Security solution to protect intellectual property and trade secrets across information lifecycle, while complying with strict requirements like EPA and OSHA. With NextLabs solution, organizations can:
Define and enforce security policies centrally with the Zero Trust Unified Policy Platform, providing real-time enforcement, business-friendly policy language, and built-in approval workflows to protect sensitive data regardless of where it resides.
Apply real-time “need-to-know” permissions with automated security controls to safeguard sensitive formulations, research data, and trade secrets, preventing breaches before they happen with a proactive, preventive strategy.
Apply granular digital rights like View, Edit, and Print when sharing critical R&D information with partners, contractors, and distributed teams worldwide, ensuring sensitive data remains protected even if downloaded externally or the network is compromised.
Out-of-the-box support for leading enterprise and cloud applications including ERP, PLM, BI, and analytics platforms, allowing policies to be applied natively within these systems without disrupting workflows.
Apply dynamic policies with Attribute-Based Access Controls (ABAC) to enforce need-to-know access through masking and segregating critical data, protecting sensitive chemical data throughout its lifecycle.
Automate and simplify security and compliance across applications using a common language, ensuring efficient adherence to REACH, ITAR, EAR, EPA, and other global chemical regulations.
Deploy data-centric security programs quickly to support R&D, production, and supply chain operations with minimal disruption.
