Business-focused solution
Data Protection & Loss Prevention
Data protection combines visibility, access decisions and working practices. AOS helps organisations discuss data risks and consider appropriate controls in collaboration, email, cloud and endpoint environments.
Discuss Your RequirementsThe business challenge
Why this matters
Sensitive information can be copied, shared or retained across collaboration platforms and devices. Without clear ownership and classification, teams may struggle to balance protection with legitimate work.
Potential business impact
Uncontrolled access or disclosure can affect customers, staff, contracts and organisational trust. Controls must reflect information sensitivity, legal obligations and operational needs; tools alone do not establish compliance.
Common warning signs
- •Sensitive data is shared externally without review
- •Access rights are broader than business roles require
- •Retention and deletion practices are unclear
- •Staff use unapproved services for information exchange
- •Data-related security alerts have no response owner
AOS approach
A practical route from need to action
Clarify what data matters, where it resides, who needs it and which rules apply. Review platform capabilities, sharing settings, access, retention and incident handling; agree proportionate steps with data and business owners.

Frequently asked questions
Does a DLP tool guarantee that information cannot leave?
No. Controls can reduce certain disclosure paths, but users, workflows and platform limits still matter.
Can Microsoft Purview help with data governance?
Microsoft publishes data-security and governance capabilities. Exact availability depends on current products, licences and configuration.
Will this make us GDPR compliant?
No tool or AOS engagement guarantees compliance. Legal and regulatory interpretation should be obtained from qualified advisers.
