Getting Started

This is your timeline to implementing the Digital Guardian Managed Security Program.

Our team of experts helps you locate and document where sensitive data lives and how moves in your extended enterprise. It’s often in places you don’t expect it to be, our experienced team can help you find it.

Our security experts will review your data footprints, showing you what data exists where and how they are moving. We’ll highlight any concerns we see and explain what it all means. Any urgent risks can be addressed here if needed.

With the data footprints documented our team will review with you the relative importance of the data and how it impacts your business if it were stolen or leaked. Is your primary focus on IP or regulated data? We can see and protect both, but prioritization based on business goals ensure alignment.

Our team uses this framework to document an overall risk assessment at the time of the initial data discovery and deployment. This serves as a place to start, we’ll use this baseline as your business evolves over time. Do your goals changes, does your risk profile change? All of this will inform an ongoing, and living risk reduction program, managed by Digital Guardian.

Going from limited visibility to the full visibility DG delivers can illuminate risks that were there all along, seeing them can be eye- opening. Your dedicated DG team will track the success of your data protection program over time, documenting the real improvements you will see.

The data discovery phase gives the DG MSP team the formula to create policies that match your business operations. These alerts will be reviewed and analyzed by our team to refine the policies as needed.

Using a combination of pre-built reports and reports tailored to your business the DG MSP team will show you just how much detail you have, from day one. The DG team will use this to inform you and your leadership team of how and where your sensitive data is moving.

Once you are ready to take more action, our team will discuss with you what actions makes the most sense to prompt end users. Adding these prompts when specific actions occur serves to remind employees of the policies and the importance of safe data handling.

Here’s what an informational prompt looks like and what a justification prompt looks like. We will work with you to customize how they look to meet your needs.

During data discovery, if there are key sensitive pools of data that warrant automated blocking we’ll discuss the best options to ensure existing workflows are minimally impacted.

Once you and our team determine any high value data sources that need automated data controls, we’ll customize the prompt. These messages reinforce existing policies, but give users the escalation process if business processes are not in alignment with the data controls.

Making DLP an ongoing program is key to success. Our MSP team will provide a cadence of reporting to the business. Our experts are the 24x7 data stewards. We give you near real time alerting required for defend against the global threatscape. We’re here to answer your questions when you need us.
