Securing data

Business data moves between cloud services, endpoints, shared workspaces and applications. Copies accumulate as employees collaborate, projects change and information is retained.

Over time, it becomes harder to maintain a clear view of sensitive content and its protection. Access permissions may be broader than intended, while information can remain available long after the original business need has ended.

Your organisation needs to understand which data matters most and whether the controls around it reflect the consequences of exposure.

Data loss does not always begin with an attacker. An employee may share a document with the wrong recipient, use an unsuitable transfer method or make information available through an overly broad sharing setting.

Controls that do not reflect how people work can also create problems. Excessive restrictions encourage workarounds, while poorly configured policies generate noise that makes meaningful activity harder to identify.

Effective data protection needs clear expectations and controls that support legitimate business activity.

AI assistants and agents can retrieve and process information from connected business systems. This makes existing access decisions more consequential, particularly where employees or applications can already reach more information than they need.

Unapproved AI tools introduce another concern when confidential content is entered without an assessment of how it will be handled.

Before expanding AI use, your organisation needs to understand which information will become accessible and whether current protections are sufficient.

Our AI Data Security Assessment helps you examine whether your information and access controls are ready for use with AI.

We identify weaknesses that should be addressed before connecting AI tools to business data. These may include inappropriate access, exposed sensitive content or gaps in the way information is protected.

The assessment supports informed decisions about adoption and helps avoid carrying existing data security problems into new AI workflows.

Our data risk assessments examine your current position and identify weaknesses in the protection of sensitive information.

We help you assess where controls need improvement and establish priorities based on the risks to your organisation. This provides a practical starting point for remediation, investment and wider data security planning.

The assessment also helps connect technical findings with business concerns, so teams understand why particular changes matter.

Data security requires ongoing attention as applications, permissions and working practices change.

Our Managed Data Security service provides support for the security capabilities within your agreed scope. We help you maintain oversight and address risks as your environment develops.

This can support internal teams that need specialist assistance or lack the capacity to manage every aspect of their data security technology consistently.

Our Managed DLP service supports the operation of controls that identify and restrict inappropriate movement of sensitive information.

DLP policies need to reflect the information you hold, how it is used and the channels through which it may leave. We help you manage those controls in line with business requirements.

An effective approach combines technical enforcement with clear processes for reviewing activity and handling legitimate exceptions.

Having access to security capabilities does not mean they are configured or used effectively.

Our professional services help you make better use of your Microsoft Purview investment. We provide advice and implementation support aligned to the capabilities available under your licences and the outcomes you need.

This helps you address configuration gaps and connect the technology with your wider approach to protecting information.

Data security risks can extend beyond the systems you manage directly.

Our Digital Risk Protection service monitors the open, deep and dark web for signs of leaked sensitive data and credentials associated with your organisation.

Findings provide intelligence to support investigation and response. This can help your teams assess exposure and determine what action is appropriate when information appears outside your control.

A one-off project cannot account for every future change. New applications, business relationships and AI use cases continually affect how information is handled.

We help you connect assessment findings with implementation and ongoing support. This gives your organisation a practical route to improving controls while maintaining the access people need to work.
