BUILD · DATA SECURITY

PROTECT THE DATA. NOT JUST THE DEVICE.

C3SA helps organizations discover, classify and protect sensitive information across endpoints, SaaS, cloud and collaboration environments using data-centric security and DLP.

OUTCOMES

WHAT CHANGES.

Our work is designed around practical outcomes, not activity for its own sake.

  • Understand where sensitive data lives and moves
  • Apply classification and handling controls consistently
  • Reduce accidental and malicious data loss
  • Integrate data protection with identity, cloud and privacy programs
CAPABILITY DETAILS

WHAT EACH PART DELIVERS.

Each capability can be scoped on its own or combined into a broader data security program.

DISCOVER

Data Discovery

Locating sensitive, regulated and business-critical information across file shares, SaaS, cloud storage, email and endpoints, and mapping how it moves between people, systems and third parties. Discovery starts with priority data, so the first results address what matters most.

What you get

  • A sensitive-data inventory by location and owner
  • A map of legitimate data flows
  • A priority list for control design
Talk to C3SA about Data Discovery
CLASSIFY

Classification

A classification and labelling scheme people can apply without guesswork: a small number of levels, clear handling rules for each, and automation where your tools support it. Schemes that are too granular tend to be ignored in practice.

What you get

  • A classification and handling standard
  • A labelling approach, manual and automated
  • Guidance for users
Talk to C3SA about Classification
PREVENT

DLP Engineering

Design and deployment of data loss prevention policies across endpoint, email, SaaS and cloud channels, tuned against real business flows so legitimate work is not blocked. Policies normally start in monitor mode and move to enforcement once false positives are understood.

What you get

  • A DLP policy set for each channel
  • A staged rollout plan from monitoring to blocking
  • False-positive and coverage measures

DETECT

Insider Risk Signals

Combining identity, data-access and behavioural signals to prioritize genuine risk, such as unusual bulk downloads before a resignation, while respecting privacy and employment obligations.

What you get

  • Risk indicators and thresholds
  • An investigation workflow with HR and legal
  • A privacy review of the monitoring approach
Talk to C3SA about Insider Risk Signals
ENCRYPT

Encryption & Key Control

Encryption patterns for data at rest, in transit and in use, with key-management decisions about who holds the keys, where and under which jurisdiction. Key control is often the deciding factor in data sovereignty.

What you get

  • An encryption and key-management design
  • Key custody and rotation procedures
  • Alignment with your digital sovereignty requirements
Talk to C3SA about Encryption & Key Control
PRIVACY

Privacy Engineering

Aligning data-security controls with privacy obligations, such as collection limits, retention and access rights, so one set of controls serves both the security and privacy programs.

What you get

  • A mapping of controls to privacy obligations
  • Retention and deletion controls
  • Evidence for privacy assessments

WHERE C3SA ADDS VALUE

CONTROLS BUILT AROUND HOW DATA IS USED.

DLP projects fail when policies are written before anyone understands how sensitive data legitimately moves. Users get blocked, exceptions pile up and enforcement is quietly switched off. C3SA starts by locating and classifying priority data and mapping legitimate flows, then designs access, monitoring, retention and loss-prevention controls around real business use.

C3SA can design the program, deploy and tune the technology, and connect it to identity, cloud, privacy and incident response, so alerts reach someone who can act on them.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Do we need a new DLP product?

Not necessarily. Many organizations already own DLP capability in their email, endpoint or productivity-suite licences. C3SA assesses what you have before recommending anything new.

How do you keep false positives manageable?

By starting in monitor mode, tuning policies against observed flows, and measuring false-positive rate and coverage before switching policies to block.

How does this relate to privacy compliance?

Discovery and classification tell you what personal information you hold and where, which most privacy obligations depend on. C3SA maps each control to the obligation it supports, so the same evidence serves both programs.

THE C3SA DIFFERENCE

ADVICE. IMPLEMENTATION. PROOF.

THE NEED

Sensitive data is moving through systems without clear ownership or controls.

WHAT C3SA DOES

C3SA locates and classifies priority data, maps legitimate flows, and designs access, monitoring, retention and loss-prevention controls around business use.

WHAT YOU GET

A sensitive-data map, control design, deployment priorities, and measures for false positives and coverage.
