Enabling Secure Data Access and Compliance for Global Natural Resources Leaders
Natural resources organizations operate in highly regulated, globally distributed environments where sensitive operational data, geological models, production data, and proprietary technologies must be carefully protected and shared with internal engineering and operations teams, joint venture partners responsible for shared assets, and contractors performing maintenance, drilling, or infrastructure projects. From complying with national regulations and export controls to managing joint ventures, contractors, and cross-border operations, energy, mining, and utilities companies face constant pressure to secure critical information while companies face constant pressure to secure critical information while preventing inconsistent access rights, excessive privileges, or unauthorized use that can lead to data exposure or operational disruption. As operations scale across regions, systems, and partners, the need for consistent Data-Centric Security becomes essential to ensure sensitive data remains protected and governed wherever it resides.
As natural resources companies expand global exploration, production, and digital initiatives—often relying on cloud platforms and distributed workforces, the risks of unauthorized access, insider threats, and data leakage increase. With NextLabs, organizations adopt Zero Trust Data Security which uses Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and dynamic authorization technology to enforce least-privilege access based on user attributes, data sensitivity, and geographic context, ensuring policy-driven data access, regulatory compliance, and uninterrupted global operations.

Petrobras
Petrobras implemented NextLabs’ Zero Trust Data-Centric Security to protect personal and business-critical data during its SAP migration from ECC to S/4HANA. Leveraging Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and NextLabs’ SAP Dynamic Authorization Management (DAM), the solution enforced fine-grained, need-to-know access, dynamically masked PII on transaction fields and segregated sensitive data in reports, ensuring personal data and business-critical information are protected LGPD compliance. Deployed in collaboration with Deloitte on an accelerated timeline, the solution automated role and authorization management, eliminated role explosion, strengthened SAP security profiles, and centralized auditable data protection, delivering rapid time to value and supporting Petrobras’ digital transformation initiatives.

Westinghouse Electric Company
With NextLabs’ Zero Trust Data-Centric Security in place, Westinghouse can prevent unauthorized access to regulated and controlled nuclear and technical data by any employee who does not meet the access requirements. Leveraging attribute-based access control, NextLabs enables Westinghouse to mask, filter, and partition data granularly at the record and field level, automating least-privilege access to controlled data. It also restricts data by geography and user licensing, prevents unauthorized disclosure, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements for controlled nuclear and technical information. Using NextLabs’ SDK, protections extend across applications, while centralized logging and auditing provide proof of compliance to all relevant regulatory bodies.
