1touch.io

1touch.io is a New York-based data security company that builds Kontxtual, an enterprise Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform aimed at large, regulated organizations with sprawling and legacy-heavy data estates. Where most DSPM tools focus on cloud object storage, 1touch.io’s differentiator is depth of coverage into mainframe and on-premises database environments — the systems that still hold the bulk of sensitive data at banks, insurers, and healthcare providers but that most modern data-security tooling ignores.

The platform uses graph-based data mapping and large language model analysis to connect discovered sensitive data to the identities, applications, and business processes that touch it, rather than just producing a flat inventory of where PII lives. That context is used to prioritize remediation and to automate responses to data subject access requests (DSARs) and compliance reporting, a workflow that is normally manual and slow in large enterprises with thousands of legacy databases.

Founded in 2017, the company has built a customer base concentrated in finance, healthcare, insurance, and retail — sectors with heavy mainframe footprints and strict data-privacy obligations (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, GLBA). A public case study describes a Fortune 100 payments company using the platform to scan roughly 3,000 databases across mainframe, on-premises, and cloud in under two weeks, and cutting DSAR response times from days to minutes.

1touch.io competes against a crowded and well-funded DSPM field (Cyera, BigID, Varonis, Securiti) but stakes its position specifically on hybrid and mainframe coverage rather than cloud-native breadth, which is a narrower but defensible niche given how much sensitive data at large regulated enterprises still sits outside the public cloud.
