"How do the CIA, NSA, DHS, and FBI all share critical data without breaking the law with regard to specific details about certain types of collection targets (like citizens?)"...

FEDRAMP it. Now run that as a service inside a secure cloud environment. You need enough runway for the FEDRAMP / engineering / sales process plus a contract win and then I'd imagine the income gets pretty steady.

Commercially? Unsure of the use case. I'd imagine as those sharing data are typically in competition. Not so in the government / intel community / finance space and I'd imagine you have to write a metric ton of policy and sign a bunch of MOUs to do this kind of stuff properly. People in government do care a great deal about these policies, believe it or not.

This is also a huge problem to solve in the "Know Your Customer" / Anti-Money Laundering space for financial institutions, where sharing data between companies or government and companies is often prohibited and/or really difficult. See the recent FCA TechSprint for more on this: https://www.fca.org.uk/events/techsprints/aml-financial-crim...

Lots of talk of "Homomorphic Encrpytion" and "Encrypted Cloud Runtimes" as options but if you don't really need to share all of the data to get to an outcome (but rather synthetic data - though synthetic identity seems to be the hard bit here...) that could be interesting!
