Encryption and DLP

Your data protected. On every device. Always.

A lost laptop should not mean a data breach. Sensitive files should not leave your organisation without authorisation. Our managed encryption and DLP service protects your data at rest and in motion across every managed endpoint in your organisation.

What We Protect

Data at rest. Data in motion. Both protected.

Our encryption and DLP service covers every way that sensitive data can be exposed or exfiltrated from your endpoints, from physical device loss to deliberate data theft.

Full-Disk Encryption

BitLocker and FileVault encryption enforced across all managed Windows and macOS endpoints. Encryption status is monitored centrally and non-compliant devices are flagged immediately.

BitLockerFileVaultCompliance Monitoring

Encryption Key Management

Recovery keys are stored securely and centrally managed. Lost device recovery is handled without data loss. Key escrow ensures business continuity if a device owner is unavailable.

Data Classification and Labelling

Sensitive data is identified and classified automatically based on content, context, and location. Classification labels drive DLP policy enforcement across all endpoints.

Data Exfiltration Prevention

DLP policies prevent sensitive data being copied to USB drives, uploaded to personal cloud storage, or sent via personal email. Policies are enforced at the endpoint regardless of network location.

Print and Screenshot Controls

Printing of sensitive documents can be restricted or watermarked. Screenshot and screen recording of sensitive content can be blocked on managed devices.

DLP Incident Reporting

All DLP policy violations are logged and reported. Monthly reports cover incident volumes, data types involved, and user activity. Alerts are raised for high-risk incidents immediately.

How It Works

From data discovery to ongoing protection. Fully managed.

We follow a structured process from understanding where your sensitive data lives through to deploying encryption and DLP policies that protect it without disrupting your business.

01

Data Discovery and Classification

We identify where sensitive data lives across your endpoints and classify it by type and sensitivity. This baseline informs your DLP policy design and encryption priorities.

02

Encryption Deployment

Full-disk encryption is enabled across all managed endpoints. Recovery keys are escrowed centrally. Compliance status is verified and reported before moving to DLP configuration.

03

DLP Policy Design

DLP policies are designed based on your data types, regulatory requirements, and business processes. Policies are configured to protect data without disrupting legitimate business activity.

04

Policy Testing and Tuning

Policies are tested in audit mode before enforcement. False positives are identified and policies are tuned to ensure legitimate activity is not blocked.

05

Enforcement and Monitoring

Policies move to enforcement mode. Violations are blocked and logged. High-risk incidents trigger immediate alerts. Your team is notified of significant policy violations.

06

Reporting and Review

Monthly DLP reports cover policy violations, data types involved, and user activity trends. Quarterly reviews ensure policies remain aligned to your business and regulatory requirements.

Real Results

Data protected across UK organisations.

GDPR Data Protection

A UK recruitment agency handling personal data of thousands of candidates needed to demonstrate data protection controls for a GDPR audit and client due diligence.

Full-disk encryption deployed. DLP policies preventing personal data exfiltration implemented. GDPR audit passed. Client due diligence satisfied.

Intellectual Property Protection

A UK engineering firm was concerned about sensitive design files and technical drawings being copied to personal devices by staff, particularly those leaving the business.

DLP policies blocking USB and cloud uploads of CAD files implemented. Three exfiltration attempts detected and blocked in the first quarter.

Financial Data Security

A UK accountancy practice needed to ensure client financial data could not leave managed devices and that all laptops were encrypted in case of loss or theft.

Full-disk encryption and DLP deployed across all endpoints. One laptop reported lost. Data confirmed protected. No breach notification required.
