Proactively prevent data loss

Preventing your sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands is a concern for most organisations. One element of this challenge is ensuring that people who have access to sensitive information don’t mishandle it and share it with people who shouldn’t, for example by misaddressing an email or by saving sensitive content to a storage location with broad access.

As a leading UK-based Microsoft partner with an Advanced Specialisation in Information Protection & Governance, we can help you prevent these kinds of data leaks using Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

How we can help

Microsoft Purview DLP

We can help you devise, implement, monitor, and tune DLP policies that are specific to your organisation and your sensitive data challenges. With Microsoft Purview DLP, we can protect sensitive data across:

  • Files, emails, and Teams chat in Microsoft 365
  • Windows 10/11 and macOS endpoints
  • On-premises file shares and SharePoint Server deployments
  • Office applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)
  • Some third-party cloud file storage platforms
  • Power BI dashboards and reports

Benefits of our DLP services

Effective and well-calibrated DLP solutions provide a useful layer of defence against data leaks while minimising the disruption to the day-to-day activities of your organisation and your people. If you use Microsoft 365 as your primary repository for files and emails, protecting that content with Microsoft Purview DLP is the logical choice.

Protect everywhere

Many DLP platforms focus on email. With Purview DLP, your content is protected whether shared over email, SharePoint or OneDrive file sharing, or in Teams chat.

Protect endpoints

With Endpoint DLP, we can extend DLP protection to your Windows and macOS devices to protect against unauthorised copying, printing, upload to cloud services, and other actions.

Detect common patterns

Purview DLP provides over 300 built-in sensitive information types. These use advanced pattern matching rules to detect different types of financial, health, and privacy-sensitive information.

Detect proprietary information

We can build bespoke types and classifiers to detect sensitive information that is specific to your organisation and the work that you do.

Leverage exact data match

If you store sensitive information in proprietary databases, we can help you to leverage Exact Data Match (EDM) to detect when that information shows up in files and emails.

Use fingerprinting

If you capture sensitive information in standard forms and templates, we can help you to use document fingerprinting to detect when that information is shared.
