Protect Your Organization’s Sensitive Data - Before It Falls Into the Wrong Hands
DLP (Data Loss Prevention) - identification, monitoring, and control of sensitive data flows across your entire IT environment - on-premises and in the cloud.
Data is one of the most valuable assets of any organization – and one of the most frequently targeted. A leak of customer data, financial documents, or intellectual property is not only a financial loss, but also a long-term impact on trust, compliance, and reputation. DLP helps prevent this—before irreversible damage occurs.
What Is DLP?
Data is one of the most valuable assets of any organization – and one of the most frequently targeted. A leak of customer data, financial documents, or intellectual property is not only a financial loss, but also a long-term impact on trust, compliance, and reputation. DLP helps prevent this—before irreversible damage occurs.
What Data Does DLP Protect?
DLP effectively secures all categories of sensitive information, including:
- Personal data (GDPR) – names, addresses, national ID numbers, customer contact details.
- Financial data – payment card numbers, banking details, financial reports (PCI-DSS).
- Intellectual property – designs, strategies, source code, technical documentation.
- Medical data – patient records, test results, insurance information.
- Confidential business information – contracts, commercial offers, HR data.
Where Can Data Leak From?
Data breaches are rarely the result of a single major attack. Most often, they stem from seemingly harmless actions – human error, misconfiguration, or malicious insider activity.
DLP monitors all key data exfiltration channels:
- E-mail – sending sensitive attachments to external recipients.
- External devices – copying data to USB drives or external disks.
- Cloud applications – uploading files to personal cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive).
- Messaging & collaboration tools – unauthorized sharing via Teams, Slack.
- Printing – printing documents containing sensitive information.
- Web browser – uploading files to external services.
Why Do Organizations Implement DLP?
The cost of data breaches continues to rise – according to IBM, the average cost of a breach in 2023 exceeded $4.4 million. Regulatory penalties, including GDPR fines, can reach up to 4% of global annual turnover.
Organizations implement DLP primarily to:
- Prevent data leaks – both accidental and intentional.
- Meet regulatory requirements – UKSC, GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIS2, ISO 27001.
- Classify and inventory sensitive data – know where and what data the organization processes.
- Reduce insider threat risks – control the activities of employees and external suppliers.
- Document events – build an auditable history of sensitive data flow.
Who Is DLP For?
DLP is particularly valuable for organizations that:
- Process personal or financial data and are subject to GDPR or PCI-DSS.
- Operate in hybrid or cloud environments with distributed data resources.
- Employ remote workers or third-party vendors with access to sensitive information.
- Need to document data flows for audits and compliance reporting.
- Have experienced a data breach and require a structured protection system.

Our Other Services
SIEM – Security Information and Event Management
Every organization generates thousands of security events daily. Without the right tools, most go unnoticed until it’s too late. SIEM aggregates data from across your infrastructure, correlates events, and identifies real threats before they escalate into incidents.
EDR – Endpoint Detection & Response
Move beyond traditional antivirus solutions. EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)provides real-time behavioral monitoring of endpoints, detecting anomalies and stopping advanced threats before they spread across your network.
Gain full visibility and rapid threat containment by turning every endpoint into an intelligent security sensor.
