Can the visibility of contents on IPFS be restricted?

Is it possible to restrict some contents on IPFS based on certain group privileges?

From what I have gathered from my readings is - once you deploy a content, it generates a hash based on the content and it is accessible from anywhere.

Suppose an organization wants to expose certain confidential files deployed on IPFS to only the members of that organization, is it possible to achieve this in the current implementation of IPFS?

Actually IPFS doesn't implement an access control system, but you can implement a such mechanism based on Cryptography, take a look about "Cryptree" mechanism.
