Data Security
Before protecting information you need to know what is sensitive and where it lives. This layer classifies it and controls how it leaves the organization.
- Classification
- Leak prevention
- Insider risk
- Compliance
Information doesn't always leave through an attack.
It leaves in an attachment to a personal account before someone resigns, in a shared folder with open permissions, or in a file uploaded to a service no one authorized. There isn't always bad intent, but the effect is the same, and the regulator's penalty doesn't distinguish either.
- There's no shared criteria for what information is confidential.
- There are shared folders with public links no one remembers creating.
- An employee can download the entire customer database without anything triggering.
What the layer includes
Every component is implemented, configured, and left under SOC watch. We don't hand over bare licenses.
Discovery and classification
Identifying where sensitive information lives and tagging it, without relying on each person remembering to label it.
Leak prevention
Rules across email, cloud, and removable devices, starting in observation mode so as not to slow down operations.
Insider risk
Detecting anomalous patterns, like mass downloads or unusual access, with human review before any action.
Compliance support
Evidence and controls aligned with the data protection rules that apply to you and with ISO 27001 requirements.
The layer isn't installed and forgotten.
Everything this layer generates flows into the SIEM, gets correlated with the rest of the stack, and is reviewed by an analyst on shift. What follows is the same across all nine layers.
Classified in under a minute
The Triage Agent reviews every event that comes in, at any hour, and discards the noise before it reaches a person.
Confirmed by an analyst
The decision to contain, isolate, or escalate is made by a person with context on your operation, not an automation.
It gets logged
Every action on this layer enters the period's report, with time, owner, and outcome.
- Map of where sensitive information resides.
- Report of leak incidents and their outcome.
- Compliance evidence for audits or the regulator.
This layer within the nine
No layer requires the others. Most of our clients start with two or three and move forward based on their reality.
What people ask about this layer
Does this watch employees?
It watches the movement of information, not people. Scope is defined in writing and communicated; it's not covert monitoring.
Will it block daily work?
It starts in observation for several weeks. It only blocks once the rule is tuned and you approve it.
Where do you start?
With discovery. Without knowing where sensitive information lives, any blocking rule is a guess.
Does it cover paper documents?
Not with technical tools, but policy and procedure do address it when scope requires it.
