Data Security & Management
Strengthen Compliance, Prevent Data Loss, and Optimize Costs
In today’s digital landscape, data security and compliance are critical for every organization. Achieving ISO 27001 compliance, preventing data theft and loss, and minimizing attack surfaces are key to protecting intellectual property and ensuring business continuity.
Large enterprises invest millions in Microsoft licensing, yet approximately 60% of stored data is redundant, obsolete, or trivial (ROT)—leading to unnecessary costs and increased security risks. The essential data required for business continuity, compliance, legal obligations, and education must be properly identified, protected, and managed. But how can you determine what data is needed, and how do you prevent its loss or misuse?
Employee turnover is another challenge: with professionals changing jobs every two years on average, critical business data often leaves with them. Your intellectual property (IP) is your competitive advantage—ensuring its protection is not optional.

Key Functionalities & Benefits
1. Sensitivity Labeling – Classify & Protect Your Data
We help you establish file- and container-level classification across your Microsoft 365 environment. This ensures that files, emails, and sensitive documents are labeled and protected based on their sensitivity level, reducing the risk of accidental or malicious data exposure.
Benefits:
✅ Secure intellectual property (IP) with automated encryption and access controls
✅ Prevent unauthorized sharing of confidential data
✅ Enable classification-based governance for compliance and security
2. Insider Risk Management (IRM) – Detect & Mitigate Threats
Insider threats—whether intentional or accidental—are a major security risk. IRM in Microsoft Purview enables organizations to detect, investigate, and respond to insider threats by generating real-time alerts when suspicious activities occur.
Common Insider Risks:
⚠️ Employees downloading sensitive files onto USB drives
⚠️ Forwarding confidential emails to personal accounts (e.g., Gmail, Outlook.com)
⚠️ Exfiltrating corporate data before leaving the company
We work with Cyber Security Defense Centers (CSOCs) to establish an end-to-end process for risk detection, analysis, and response, ensuring your organization stays protected.
Benefits:
✅ Proactive alerting and risk analysis
✅ Mitigation workflows to prevent data leaks
✅ Automated responses to enforce security policies
3. Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) – Optimize Data Retention & Deletion
Not all data needs to be stored indefinitely. DLM in Microsoft Purview enables organizations to automate data retention and deletion policies, ensuring compliance while reducing storage costs.
Recommended Policies:
🗑 Files untouched for 3+ years → Auto-delete
🗑 Emails older than 1 year → Auto-delete
🗑 Microsoft Teams chats older than 6 months → Auto-delete
We also offer customized retention policies for executive leadership (Top Tier 3) and workflows to preserve critical records through ServiceNow-based exemptions.
Benefits:
✅ Reduced data clutter and storage costs
✅ Compliance with industry regulations
✅ Minimized attack surface for cyber threats
4. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) – Prevent Unauthorized Data Sharing
DLP policies in Microsoft Purview prevent sensitive information from being shared inappropriately via email, cloud storage, or external apps.
How It Works:
🔹 Policy tips guide employees on proper data handling
🔹 Warnings & restrictions prevent unauthorized emails or file sharing
🔹 Future enforcement: Emails with improper classifications won’t be sent
Benefits:
✅ Reduces the risk of accidental data breaches
✅ Ensures compliance with corporate security policies
✅ Educates employees on responsible data usage
