Encryption
Make sure data on every laptop, server and removable drive is unreadable if the device is lost or stolen.
A lost laptop should never become a public data breach
Encryption scrambles the data on business devices so that if a laptop or phone is lost or stolen, the information on it is protected. Recovery keys are held safely so IT can still support users.
- Reduces the impact of lost or stolen devices
- Supports insurance, GDPR and customer due diligence
- Protects remote and hybrid workers by default
- Encryption is enforced across the fleet, not opt-in
- Recovery keys are stored centrally and safely
- Any non-compliant device is reported and fixed
Can you prove every business laptop is encrypted and recoverable?

Understanding encryption
A lost laptop should be an inconvenience, not a reportable breach. Full-disk encryption with managed recovery keys is one of the cheapest, highest-impact controls available - and one of the easiest to get subtly wrong. We deploy BitLocker, FileVault and removable-media encryption with centralised key escrow so a lost device is a non-event.

How this applies to organisations like yours
Recent situations we've worked through with UK businesses - find the one closest to yours.
Situation. Laptop stolen from a sales rep's car contained pipeline data and customer contacts.
Outcome. BitLocker with TPM and Intune key escrow meant the data was unreadable and ICO reporting wasn't required.
Situation. Project drawings shared with contractors on USB drives without protection.
Outcome. Forced encryption on removable media plus an approved secure-transfer portal removed the USB habit.
Situation. Compliance demanded encryption at rest for all client data on macOS and Windows.
Outcome. FileVault and BitLocker enforced via MDM; compliance dashboard shows 100% coverage daily.
Situation. Volunteer laptops used at events but rarely returned to the office.
