Field 05 / Data protection

Policy written before the survey is fiction.

Data protection projects usually open with a document and then fade, because nobody established where the material actually was. These two lines run in an honest order. Find it. Measure it. Rule on it afterwards.

Surveying before deciding

Regulated material spreads by entirely ordinary means. A report exported to read on a train. An attachment dropped onto a desktop. A shared folder still standing after the project that built it. None of it careless, all of it accumulating.

The survey reads endpoints, along with whichever shares they can see, hunting personal information and card numbers, and pins a figure to every device. That figure is the useful output. It converts an uneasy feeling into a ranked list, and a ranked list is something a small team can get through.

It converts an uneasy feeling into a ranked list, and a ranked list can be got through.

Then holding the edges

Enforcement encrypts the file rather than the disk, so protection travels with the document into places that are rather less careful. Compliance profiles are chosen to match the regime you genuinely answer to instead of every regime at once.

Application control decides which programs may go near protected material. That is the part which catches the ordinary exit: not a dramatic theft, simply a file opened by something with no business opening it.

Sensitive Data Discovery

Instruments · Actifile locating files nobody remembered keeping

Nothing gets governed before it gets found. This line surveys endpoints, and the shares they can see, hunting personal information and card numbers, works out where exposure currently stands, and divides that figure across devices so remediation gains an order instead of a mood.

  • Personal information and payment card data, found on macOS, Windows and Linux.
  • A measured starting point for exposure instead of an impression of one.
  • Scanning for vulnerabilities, reported as a trend, so movement shows up over time.

Encryption and Channel Control

Instruments · Actifile encrypting what was found and minding the exits

The survey says where the material is. This line does something about it: encryption applied to the files themselves, compliance profiles matched to the rules you genuinely answer to, and a say over which applications are allowed near the data at all.

  • Encryption at file level, so protection travels with the document and not the disk.
  • A choice of compliance profiles, matched to the regime you report against.
  • Application control over which programs may open protected material.

Honest scope

Where this page stops

This work has a real edge, and it is worth knowing where it sits before you buy.

  • Permission is not the same as trust. Somebody entitled to open a document may decide to keep it. What controls that is leaver procedure, periodic access review, and how an employment agreement is worded. Not one of those three is on sale here.
  • Patterns are findable. Meaning is not. Classification recognises shapes. A trade secret written in ordinary prose looks like ordinary prose, and you will still have to point at it yourself.
  • No certificate is produced here. These lines generate evidence and controls that help. Compliance is not something a product confers, on this site or any other.
  • Enrolment draws the line again. Material on a device that never enrols is outside both lines, however sensitive it happens to be.
  • Encryption is no defence against deletion. Encrypt a file, delete the file, and the file has still gone. Copies belong to backup and continuity.
