Data Protection & DLP
Discover, classify and protect sensitive information across Microsoft 365, cloud services, devices and approved business workflows.
Sensitive data discovery
Information classification
Data loss prevention
Copilot-aware governance
Protect Information According to What It Is and How It Is Used
Sensitive information moves through email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, devices and business applications. ITFR helps identify important data, define appropriate handling and apply practical controls without treating every file or user action as equally risky.
✓Information discovery
Identify sensitive information types, locations, owners and common movement across the environment.
✓Classification and labels
Create practical categories and sensitivity labels aligned with business handling requirements.
✓Data loss prevention
Reduce inappropriate sharing, transfer or use of sensitive information through suitable DLP policies.
✓Retention and lifecycle
Coordinate retention, deletion and records requirements with information ownership.
✓Endpoint and cloud controls
Apply supported information protection across Microsoft 365, endpoints and connected services.
✓Copilot and AI data readiness
Reduce oversharing and improve information governance before broader AI access.

✓Classification & Label Design
Create suitable sensitivity labels and user-facing handling guidance.
✓DLP Policy Implementation
Configure agreed data loss prevention policies and staged enforcement.
✓Pilot, Testing & Tuning
Test policies with selected users and reduce unnecessary interruption.
✓Documentation & Handover
Record controls, ownership, exceptions, support and ongoing review requirements.
BEST FOR
Businesses that need a controlled data protection uplift or a defined compliance and information protection project.
Managed Data Protection & DLP
Managed Control
for defined information and services
Ongoing policy and information risk oversight
For organisations that want data protection controls reviewed, tuned and improved as information and collaboration change.
✓Everything in Assessment & Implementation
Discovery, requirements, labels, DLP, testing, documentation and handover.
✓Sensitive Information Monitoring
Review supported policy activity, exposure and recurring information risks.
✓Policy & Exception Management
Maintain approved policy changes, exceptions and business dependencies.
✓Sharing & Permission Review
Coordinate information protection with Microsoft 365 access and external sharing.
✓Endpoint DLP & Device Alignment

✓Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Review trends, incidents, control effectiveness and priority improvements.
BEST FOR
Businesses that need ongoing data protection governance rather than a one-time policy deployment.
Apply Controls According to Information and Business Context
Financial, personal, client, regulated and intellectual property information may require different protection and handling.
ITFR can use common foundations with targeted policies for higher-risk information, users and workflows.
You protect sensitive data without applying the most restrictive control to every document and conversation.
DATA PROTECTION EXPERTISE
Not Sure Where Sensitive Information Lives?
ITFR can assess Microsoft 365 and connected services, identify likely exposure and define a practical first data protection workstream.
Sensitive Data Discovery
Locate priority information types and common exposure across supported services.
Microsoft Purview Controls
Use suitable classification, DLP, retention and information protection capabilities.
Copilot Data Readiness
Review permissions, oversharing, ownership and information exposure before AI adoption.
Data Incident Review
Investigate supported policy events and coordinate containment and improvement actions.
$
Match data protection to information value, use and risk.
Choose a focused implementation or ongoing managed service according to data types, services, users, compliance and AI adoption plans.
