About ViNotion
ViNotion is a Netherlands-based computer vision and AI company serving customers in government and regulated industries.
Its Confluence environment supports documentation and collaboration across teams, including sensitive customer and project information that requires careful handling.
The challenge: Protecting sensitive information without adding manual work
As ViNotion’s business grew, managing confidential information in Confluence became increasingly complex. The team needed to:
Control access to sensitive data
Keep confidential customer information and analytical results accessible only to authorized users.
Reduce manual permissions management
Remove the burden of deciding and applying access restrictions to individual pages.
Support ISO 27001 requirements
Apply consistent information security controls across Confluence while moving from Server to Cloud.
“We needed to know who could access what, when, and why. But we didn’t want to burden users with more decisions or manual processes.”

The solution: Connecting information classification to access controls
ViNotion selected Compliance for Confluence to simplify how sensitive content was classified and protected.
This helped ViNotion maintain more consistent information controls without relying on administrators to manage every page individually.
The team was able to:
Link classification levels to page restrictions, limiting access to the appropriate users and groups.

Sensitive content could be protected according to its classification, reducing reliance on employees to configure page permissions manually.
- AppFox estimate
4 weeksof estimated audit-preparation time saved annually
AppFox’s model suggests that more consistent controls and less manual evidence collection could save approximately four weeks of audit-preparation work each year.
- AppFox estimate
3–4×estimated return from time savings
The internal model also indicates a potential 3–4× return from reduced administrative and compliance work, representing thousands of euros in estimated savings per audit.
The time and financial estimates are based on AppFox modeling. They are related estimates, not separate or independently measured customer savings.
