DLP / Data Security
Stop sensitive data leaving the business - by accident or by malice - across email, endpoints and cloud apps.
Sensitive information should not leave the business by accident or misuse
Data loss prevention identifies sensitive information - customer records, financial data, intellectual property - and reduces the chance it gets shared, copied or emailed to the wrong place.
- Protects customer, financial and regulated data
- Reduces accidental leakage over email and cloud shares
- Underpins compliance evidence for GDPR, ISO and DSPT
- Sensitive data is classified before policies are enforced
- Rules are tested in monitor mode first
- Incidents are reviewed and lessons are captured
Do you know where sensitive data is stored - and how it could leave the business?

Understanding dlp & data security
Most data leaks aren't sophisticated. They're a finance team member emailing a payroll file to the wrong address, an exiting salesperson copying the pipeline to a personal drive, or AI tools quietly hoovering up confidential text. DLP gives you the policies, classification and detection to stop these - without turning the workplace into a prison.
