Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for context-based transfer and access of data include a producer which receives a request from a consumer to access a data block. The producer verifies whether a context associated with the consumer will allow access the data block, by providing a challenge to the consumer and obtaining a response, the response including a certification that the context associated with the consumer will allow the consumer to access the data block. Upon verifying that the context allows the consumer to access the data block, the producer transfers a data capsule, the data capsule including an encrypted version of the data block and a micro agent for monitoring access to the data block. The micro agent can interact with an operating system at the consumer to allow decryption and local access of the data block upon the data capsule being transferred.
