How Sensitive Data Escapes
Your Organisation Every Day

Data exfiltration rarely looks like a dramatic hack. Most incidents are employees doing the wrong thing — sometimes accidentally, sometimes not. Without DLP, you have no visibility and no control.

Sensitive Data Sent by Email

An employee forwards a customer database, financial report or contract to a personal email or the wrong recipient. Without email DLP, that data is gone — often before anyone realises. Regulators and customers will not accept "accidental" as an excuse.

USB & Removable Drive Copying

A departing employee, a contractor or a visitor with a USB drive can copy gigabytes of confidential data in seconds. Without endpoint DLP controls, there is no record of what was copied, no alert and no way to retrieve it once the drive leaves the building.

Uploads to Personal Cloud Accounts

Employees routinely upload work files to personal Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive accounts for convenience. Those files are now outside your IT control, subject to the employee's own account security — and available to anyone with that person's credentials.

Printing & Screen Capture of Restricted Documents

Confidential contracts, patient records and financial statements printed or screenshotted walk out of the office in a bag or on a phone. Physical documents are almost impossible to track after the fact — prevention is the only effective control.

Insider Threats & Malicious Exfiltration

Disgruntled employees, departing staff and compromised accounts deliberately extract valuable data — customer lists, source code, trade secrets — before leaving. Behavioural anomaly detection identifies unusual download patterns that routine monitoring misses entirely.

Compliance & Regulatory Violations

UAE data protection law, DIFC regulations, PCI DSS and healthcare sector rules require technical controls to prevent unauthorised data disclosure. A single uncontrolled breach can trigger regulatory investigation, substantial fines and mandatory customer notification.

Complete Data Loss Prevention
Across Every Exit Channel

Data can leave your organisation via dozens of routes. We deploy DLP policies that cover every channel — from email and endpoints to cloud apps, the network and insider behaviour — so nothing goes unmonitored.

Email DLP

Inspect outbound emails and attachments in real time for sensitive data — PII, financial records, health information, card numbers and custom patterns specific to your business. Policies can block, quarantine, encrypt, or prompt the sender with a business-justification override before delivery.

Endpoint DLP

Agent-based DLP deployed on Windows and macOS endpoints monitors and controls data movement to USB drives, Bluetooth, external hard drives, print, clipboard and screen capture. Policies follow the device even when it is off the corporate network — critical for remote and hybrid workforces.

Cloud Application DLP

Monitor and control data uploads to cloud applications — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Dropbox, Box and personal cloud accounts. Block uploads of classified files to unapproved apps, restrict external sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive, and audit all cloud data activity in real time.

Network DLP Gateway

Inspect outbound network traffic at the gateway for sensitive data in HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, instant messaging and web form submissions. Deep packet inspection identifies data exfiltration attempts that bypass endpoint controls — essential for unmanaged devices and on-site contractor networks.

Data Classification & Discovery

You cannot protect data you do not know you have. We deploy automated data discovery to locate sensitive data across file servers, SharePoint, OneDrive, email archives and databases — then apply classification labels (Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted) that DLP policies enforce automatically based on label.

Insider Threat Management

Behavioural analytics detect anomalous activity — bulk downloads at unusual hours, access to files outside normal scope, rapid file copy before resignation — and generate risk scores for investigation. Combine DLP event data with HR signals (recent disciplinary action, resignation notices) to prioritise alerts before the damage is done.

DLP That Works With
Your Business, Not Against It

A DLP deployment that generates too many false positives gets switched off by frustrated users. We tune policies against your real data flows before enforcement begins — so controls are effective without disrupting legitimate work.

Audit-First Deployment

We always start in monitor-only mode. Policies run silently for 2–4 weeks to map your real data flows, identify legitimate business processes and tune sensitivity thresholds before a single block is enforced.

Policy Tuning & False-Positive Reduction

We review DLP audit logs with your team, whitelist legitimate workflows, refine pattern matching and set appropriate confidence thresholds so that when enforcement goes live, it catches real incidents — not routine business activities.

Compliance-Ready Reporting

Incident logs, policy match reports and data classification coverage metrics are available for regulatory audits — UAE PDPL, DIFC, PCI DSS, DHA. We generate the evidence you need to demonstrate DLP controls are in place and effective.

Managed DLP & Incident Response

Our team monitors your DLP alerts around the clock, triages incidents by severity, escalates confirmed breaches to your security team and provides monthly reports on incidents, blocked channels and policy effectiveness trends.

From Data Discovery to
Enforced DLP in Four Weeks

We follow a phased deployment that maps your data, classifies it, tunes policies and only enforces controls once false positives are reduced to an acceptable level — protecting your data without disrupting your business.

Data Discovery & Risk Assessment

We scan your file servers, email, cloud storage and endpoints to locate sensitive data, identify high-risk users and map the most common data exfiltration paths within your organisation.

Classification & Policy Design

We build your data classification taxonomy, configure sensitivity labels and design DLP policies for each channel — email, endpoint, cloud and network — mapped to your compliance requirements and risk appetite.

Audit Mode & Policy Tuning

All DLP policies run in audit/monitor mode for 2–4 weeks. We review events daily, whitelist legitimate workflows, reduce false positives and refine patterns until policies are ready for enforcement without business disruption.

Enforcement & Managed Monitoring

Blocking policies go live. Our team monitors incidents 24/7, triages alerts, updates policies as your business evolves and provides monthly compliance reports for audit purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Dubai businesses about data loss prevention and DLP policy deployment.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a set of technologies and policies that detect and prevent sensitive data — such as customer records, financial data, health information or intellectual property — from leaving your organisation without authorisation. Dubai businesses face growing regulatory requirements under UAE data protection law, the DIFC Data Protection Law and sector-specific rules (CBUAE, DHA, MOH). A DLP breach can result in regulatory fines, reputational damage and loss of client trust. DLP provides the technical controls to enforce your data security policy across email, endpoints, cloud apps and the network.
A comprehensive DLP deployment covers all common exfiltration channels: email outbound (attachments and body content), endpoint devices (USB drives, external hard drives, Bluetooth, print), cloud applications (personal OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer), web browsers (form submissions, file uploads), network traffic (HTTP/HTTPS inspection at the gateway), clipboard and screen capture, and collaboration tools (Teams, Slack). We assess which channels present the highest risk for your organisation and prioritise DLP coverage accordingly based on where your sensitive data lives and how your team works.
Microsoft Purview DLP is built into the Microsoft 365 compliance centre and covers Exchange email, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and endpoint devices enrolled in Microsoft Intune. We configure DLP policies using built-in sensitive information types (credit card numbers, passport numbers, Emirates ID) and custom patterns specific to your business. Policies can alert, block, or prompt users with a business justification override. Purview DLP integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to extend coverage to devices even when they are off the corporate network — ensuring remote workers are covered by the same policies as office staff.
A poorly tuned DLP deployment generates false positives that frustrate employees and reduce productivity — and in some organisations, teams simply find workarounds or IT disables the policies under pressure. We follow a phased approach: deploying in audit mode first to understand your data flows, identify false positives and tune sensitivity thresholds before any blocking policy is enforced. Business justification overrides allow authorised users to bypass a policy with a valid reason, with the action logged for review. The goal is to stop accidental or malicious data loss without impeding legitimate work.
Several UAE frameworks require or strongly recommend DLP controls: the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), the DIFC Data Protection Law 2020, ADGM Data Protection Regulations, Central Bank of UAE (CBUAE) cybersecurity regulations for financial institutions, Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and Ministry of Health requirements for patient data, and PCI DSS for organisations processing payment card data. DLP policies, audit logs and incident reports serve as direct evidence of technical controls for compliance audits. We provide compliance-ready reporting aligned to each framework's requirements.

Do You Know Where Your
Sensitive Data Is Right Now?

If the answer is "not really" — that's where we start. A free DLP assessment maps your sensitive data, identifies your highest-risk exfiltration channels and shows you exactly what needs to be controlled before a breach occurs.
