Data Security & Loss Prevention
One misconfigured permission. One phishing email. One USB drive. That’s all it takes to lose data that took years to build. Binary Minds deploys enterprise-grade DLP and data security controls that keep your sensitive information exactly where it belongs — inside your organisation.
Why DLP Matters Now
Perimeter firewalls and antivirus software were never designed to stop data from walking out the door. UAE’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and global regulations including GDPR now impose significant penalties for data breaches — the question is no longer if you should implement DLP, but whether you can afford not to.
Core Capabilities
From discovery to enforcement — our DLP framework covers every channel where data can leak, be stolen, or be mishandled. Built on Microsoft Purview for Microsoft 365 estates, with Forcepoint, Symantec and Varonis where the environment calls for them.
Automatically scan and classify sensitive data — PII, financial records, IP, healthcare data — across endpoints, cloud storage, email, and file servers.
Persistent labels that travel with the file, enforcing encryption and usage rights wherever it goes — inside or outside your tenant.
Apply AES-256 encryption to data stored on devices and servers, and enforce TLS for all data in motion across your network and cloud environments.
Define granular policies that block, quarantine, or alert when sensitive data is transferred via email, USB, cloud upload, print, or web.
Gain full visibility into how employees interact with sensitive data. Detect insider threats, anomalous behaviour, and risky data handling in real time.
Extend DLP policies to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, OneDrive, and third-party SaaS apps using Cloud Access Security Broker capabilities.
Automated alerts and investigation workflows when policy violations occur. Reduce mean-time-to-respond (MTTR) with enriched incident context.
DLP stops data leaving; immutable backups make sure ransomware or a rogue admin cannot destroy it. We tie the two together.
Our DLP implementations are designed with regulatory frameworks at their core — UAE PDPL, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and NESA — so policies map directly to compliance controls.
Our Methodology
A structured, proven approach — from understanding your data landscape to continuous enforcement and improvement.
We map all data stores, classify assets by sensitivity, and identify your highest-risk exposure points. Delivered free, typically within 3 business days.
Custom DLP rules aligned to your industry, regulatory requirements, and internal data handling procedures — with a label taxonomy your staff can understand.
Seamless rollout across endpoints, email, cloud apps, and network with minimal disruption to users. Policies start in audit mode and move to block once tuned.
Continuous refinement based on real-world incidents and evolving threats to maintain precision — then monthly reviews, incident response, compliance reporting, and policy updates as your business evolves.
DLP policies active within 2 weeks — no lengthy projects or disruption to operations.

FAQ
Microsoft 365 Business Premium and E3 include Purview DLP for email, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, plus sensitivity labels. Endpoint DLP, Insider Risk Management, auto-labelling and Defender for Cloud Apps need E5 or the E5 Compliance add-on. We confirm what your tenant already holds during the free assessment before recommending anything.
Federal Decree-Law 45 of 2021 requires you to know what personal data you hold, process it for a defined purpose, protect it with appropriate technical measures, honour data-subject requests and notify the UAE Data Office of breaches. Classification, DLP, encryption and retention policies are the technical evidence for most of those obligations.
Not if it is rolled out properly. Policies start in audit mode so we see real data flows first, then move to policy tips and user override, and only block the highest-risk actions. Our dedicated engineer tunes rules from real incidents, which is how we keep false positives out of your inbox.
Yes. Microsoft 365 and Azure tenants can be provisioned in the UAE North and UAE Central regions, and we pin storage, keys and backups to those regions. For DIFC, ADGM or government requirements we document residency for each workload as part of the compliance report.
Backup restores data after it is lost or encrypted; DLP stops it leaving in the first place. You need both — an immutable backup does nothing about a spreadsheet emailed to a competitor, and DLP does nothing about ransomware. We design them together, typically Purview for DLP and Veeam or Acronis for immutable backup.
The free Data Risk Assessment is typically completed within 3 business days. Core DLP policies for email and cloud are usually active within 2 weeks, with endpoint DLP, insider risk and CASB following in phases over the next one to two months.
