people, agents and data

Sensitive data sits in places nobody has mapped.

We find it, label it and put controls where it moves.

You can't protect what you can't see.

be honest, now

Sensitive data sits in dozens of systems, and few teams can say where, who touches it or whether it is protected. The auditor asks. The answer is a shrug.

1.

Nobody can say where the sensitive data lives.

Customer records, IP and financials sit in on prem databases, cloud storage, SaaS apps and backups. Shadow IT hides more of it. Then the auditor asks where customer personal data lives and the honest answer is that nobody is sure.

2.

Classification is manual and always behind.

Tags and naming conventions depend on people, and people miss things. Sensitive data ends up unlabelled under ordinary access controls, and a manual process cannot show an auditor that every record was classified.

3.

Encryption is patchy and the keys are everywhere.

Some data is encrypted in some regions, with keys spread across AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault and on prem HSMs. Some data is not encrypted because nobody knew it had to be. A missed key rotation turns into a compliance finding.

4.

Access to data is not governed.

Employees, contractors and service accounts hold standing access to sensitive stores. Reviews happen quarterly or yearly, and they are incomplete. A compromised account can pull a lot of data before anyone notices, and a request from a person for their own data takes weeks because nobody can list every system that holds it.

Six pillars of data protection.

see it, label it, lock it

Each pillar covers one part of the job. Together they make sensitive data easy to find, labelled, encrypted, governed and hard to walk out the door.

pillar 1 of 6

Data Discovery and Inventory

Discovery engines scan cloud accounts, databases, file shares and SaaS apps for sensitive data patterns. You get a searchable inventory and a map of how data moves from source to destination.

From scattered to governed.

one level at a time

Nobody starts at the top. Pick the level that sounds like your Monday morning and we plan the climb from there.

  1. L1

    Scattered Encryption

    Some data is encrypted in some places, and nobody has the full picture of where sensitive data sits. Classification is minimal and audits are done by hand.

    Data Assessment

    • Sensitive data discovery scan
    • Encryption gap identification
    • Data protection roadmap
    • Compliance readiness review
  2. L2

    Discovery and Classification

    Discovery scans your infrastructure continuously and classification tags sensitive data automatically. The inventory is searchable, so "where is customer personal data stored?" has an answer.

    Discovery Deployment

    • Continuous infrastructure scanning
    • Automated sensitivity tagging
    • Searchable data inventory
    • Regulated data encryption policies
  3. L3

    Encryption and Governance

    Encryption reaches the sensitive data with keys managed in one place. Access needs approval, reviews are automated and you can see who touched what, and when.

    Governance and Encryption

    • Centralized key management
    • Automated access reviews
    • Data residency enforcement
    • Full access audit trails
  4. L4

    Proactive Protection

    Sensitive data is found, classified on the way in, encrypted by default, governed by policy and watched for exfiltration. Compliance reporting draws on the same data and is ready when someone asks.

    Managed Data Protection

    • Automated classification at ingestion
    • Exfiltration prevention active
    • On demand compliance reporting
    • Continuous data topology awareness

Where teams start.

Three common ways into a data protection program.

first

Healthcare and HIPAA readiness

Patient records spread across clinics, older records systems and cloud imaging. We find the protected health information wherever it sits, classify it, encrypt the stores and limit clinicians to the records they need for care.

  • Audit evidence on hand when the auditor asks
  • Breach exposure understood and reduced
  • Access matched to care roles

second

SaaS and GDPR access requests

A platform serving EU customers gets a steady flow of right of access requests. We map the repositories, tag personal data and set up a workflow that finds one person's data, exports it securely and keeps the evidence.

  • Faster, repeatable responses to access requests
  • Evidence ready for a regulator
  • Less legal time spent per request

third

Fintech and exposed secrets

Database credentials and API keys turn up hardcoded in application code or on a public repository. We scan for secrets, rotate what was exposed and add pre commit checks so the next one is caught before it ships.

  • Exposed secrets found and rotated
  • Pre commit checks that catch new ones
  • Rotation on a regular automated schedule
