NEED2KNOW™ provides a more granular approach to information visibility, enabling organisations to determine what information an authorised employee, partner, application or AI system should be able to see and use based on factors such as the task, context and need-to-know. The technology is being developed for high-assurance enterprise environments, with potential applications across energy, defence, critical infrastructure, AI infrastructure and secure multi-party collaboration. CUDE's approach is intended to complement rather than replace existing security technologies such as identity and access management, data protection, enterprise collaboration and information-rights solutions. Core proposition: Access determines who can enter. Visibility determines what they should actually be able to see.

NEED2KNOW is an Enterprise Visibility Infrastructure platform that turns approved tasks, enterprise policy, and current context into precise, governed working views. It enforces the need-to-know principle at runtime for both human and AI interactions across organizational and trust boundaries.
