Secure External Kafka Data Sharing for Financial Services
Share Kafka data across partners, regulators, and clouds without losing control. Masking, encryption, and auditability at every boundary, enabling compliant, trackable data exchange.

Firewall rules, certificates, and network reviews delay every new partner. Months pass before first data exchange.
Multiple identity models (OIDC, tokens, BasicAuth) across partner ecosystems. No single control point for schema validation, ACLs, and encryption.
No immutable audit evidence linking Kafka topics to regulator or SaaS endpoints. No FinOps visibility for chargeback.
Each external connection requires:
- Security review: 2-4 weeks
- Network configuration: 1-2 weeks
- Certificate management: 1 week
- Testing: 1-2 weeks
- Months before value delivery
Data leaves your perimeter through:
- Ad-hoc connectors
- Custom scripts
- File-based exports
- No centralized governance or lineage
When regulators ask "who accessed what":
- Evidence gathering takes weeks
- Lineage reconstructed manually
- No cost attribution per partner
- Audit becomes a project
Unified Sharing Gateway
Single control point for all external data flows. mTLS, ACLs, and schema validation enforced at the boundary
Field-Level Masking
Mask sensitive fields before exposure. Share transaction data while protecting PII
BYOK Encryption
Integrate with Voltage, Fortanix, or KMS. Your keys, your control, your compliance
Flexible Authentication
OIDC, API keys, or tokens. Onboard partners without rebuilding your identity model
Immutable Audit Logs
Every shared event logged with lineage. Evidence ready for PCI DSS, GLBA, and DORA
FinOps Chargeback
Track consumption per partner or business unit. Cost transparency for data monetization
Zero-Trust Architecture
Partners access only authorized topics. Topology and naming hidden. No cluster exposure
Dynamic Masking
Apply masking rules based on consumer identity. Same topic, different views
Live Data Sharing
Share Kafka data in real-time. No replication, no file exports, no data copies
Lineage Tracking
Trace every event from source topic to external consumer. Complete audit trail
Throttling Controls
Rate-limit external consumers. Protect cluster performance during partner surges
Fast Onboarding
Partners connect in days, not months. Standard protocols, automated provisioning
How Data Sharing Works
From internal cluster to external partner, governed end-to-end.
Set which topics, fields, and events can be shared. Masking and encryption rules apply automatically
Onboard partners with OIDC, tokens, or API keys. Access scoped to specific topics and fields
Partners consume Kafka data in real-time through the gateway. No replication or exports
Track every access, generate compliance evidence, allocate costs per partner
Regulatory Reporting
Deliver near-real-time reports to financial authorities with end-to-end lineage and immutable audit evidence
Partner Connectivity
Share Kafka topics externally via OIDC or token authentication with schema validation and BYOK encryption
Credit and Risk Exchange
Provide loan, payment, and scoring events to credit bureaus with field-level encryption and masking
Vendor and SaaS Integrations
Expose selected event streams to external providers under zero-trust controls
B2B and Payment APIs
Offer real-time data access to partner banks or payment networks with schema enforcement
Data Marketplace
Power monetized or cross-BU data exchanges with FinOps chargeback and consumption tracking

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share data without replicating it?
Yes. Conduktor acts as a gateway. Partners consume directly from your Kafka cluster through controlled, masked, and audited channels. No data copies.
How do partners authenticate?
Conduktor supports OIDC, API keys, tokens, and mTLS. Use your existing identity provider or issue dedicated credentials per partner.
What masking options are available?
Field-level masking with multiple strategies: redaction, hashing, tokenization, or partial masking. Rules apply based on consumer identity.
How does this meet DORA requirements?
Immutable audit logs, complete lineage from source to consumer, and evidence of encryption coverage. Audit reports generated automatically.
Can I charge partners for data consumption?
Yes. FinOps dashboards track consumption per partner, topic, and time period. Export for billing or internal chargeback.
