Data Loss Prevention

Never had a data breach?

You would be surprised how many times we have heard people state this with confidence, only to read in the press later on about a data breach that they had only just discovered, that happened 100+ days before.

Data loss caused either maliciously or negligently by someone with legitimate access to the data, is fast becoming one of the key battlegrounds in cyber security. More recently, it has taken a dangerous turn with many instances uncovered where employees have been discovered in dark web chat rooms attempting to auction data. Cyber criminals have also worked out that coercing someone with legitimate access is a great (and risk free) way to get what they want.

It’s no surprise that an entire industry segment for Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools has exploded in the last few years. Your data is your most important asset. Creating a suitable DLP strategy could be the most important thing you do this year.

We can fix the leaks.

Creating an appropriate DLP strategy is as much about business process as it is about selecting and implementing a DLP product. You first need to ascertain if DLP is the right approach for your organisation. Some industries, such as law firms, struggle to implement a blocking solution such as DLP due to the way their business functions and have to look to detection in near real-time as a more appropriate solution.

Once we have figured that DLP is right for you, we need to create visibility across your data. We can then select the right DLP solution to match your data types, classes, locations and devices. The result will be a DLP strategy that integrates tightly into your business processes, without hindering them, that achieves the objective of avoiding your name in the headlines.
