Turn Data Complexity Into Absolute Clarity and Control
Sensitive data moves constantly across email, endpoints, collaboration tools, and cloud applications. Without consistent governance and cloud data security, it remains overexposed or invisible until an audit, leak, or regulatory request brings the risk into focus. At Bulletproof, we find and lock down sensitive data so you're always audit-ready and in control.
You Can’t Protect Data If You Don’t Know Where It Is
Move From Uncertainty to Defensible Data Governance
Sensitive data rarely stays where it belongs, making it difficult to know who can access it and how it is being used. Without clear visibility and consistent controls, exposure can go unnoticed until it becomes a security incident.
With Bulletproof, you’ll gain a strategic partner to bring clarity and control across your digital estate. We combine Microsoft Purview governance with practical security expertise to give your team confidence that their most valuable information is protected.
Capabilities include:
- Data Security Assessments
- Microsoft Purview Information Protection
- Data Discovery & Classification
- Sensitivity Labels
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
- Insider Risk Management
- Secure Collaboration across Teams, SharePoint & OneDrive
- Cloud & SaaS Data Protection
- AI Data Exposure Protection & Governance Accelerator
- Managed Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Information accumulates quickly, but accountability rarely keeps pace. Documents are retained and forgotten across Microsoft 365, leaving teams unsure of who owns them or when they can be safely deleted.
At Bulletproof, we turn that sprawl into a governed information lifecycle. We deliver the governance foundation organizations need to gain control of their data, reduce exposure, and confidently manage information across its entire lifecycle, from creation to defensible disposition.
Capabilities include:
- eDiscovery
- Records Management
- Communication Compliance
- Information Barriers
- Privacy Risk Management
- Audit Premium
- Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) & Records Readiness Assessment
- Data Management Assessment
- AI Data Security Posture Management Accelerator
- Managed Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
The biggest challenge of an audit is often proving that your data inputs all tell the same story.
From control readiness and evidence organization to remediation planning and certification support, we support requirements aligned to frameworks including:
- ASystem and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2)
- ISO 27001
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
- Cybersecurity Maturity Model
- Certification (CMMC)
- CyberSecure Canada
- Minimum Acceptable Risk Standards for Exchanges (MARS-E)

OUTCOMES
What Is Your Sensitive Data Hiding?
Private information rarely remains where it originated. It moves between collaboration spaces — often losing context and ownership along the way. We start with our Data Assessment, then utilize Microsoft Purview to establish a common language for your data. This automatically identifies and classifies information according to what it contains, how sensitive it is, and how it should be handled.
Once data is classified, protection must align with how people actually work. Policies that are too restrictive entice people to create workarounds, while controls that are too loose leave sensitive information exposed. Validating your environment through our Copilot & Readiness Assessment, we implement Microsoft Purview DLP across Exchange, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, endpoints, and supported cloud environments to create practical guardrails around everyday collaboration.
Teams should not be required to reconstruct years of decisions and activity for an audit. And 32% of organizations faced regulatory fines after a breach. We turn compliance into an ongoing, evidence-based process by establishing how information is retained, reviewed, and defensibly disposed of. Microsoft Purview provides the controls and audit trail needed to demonstrate data privacy and compliance.
Data-risk alerts are most useful when they reveal the wider story behind an event. We connect Microsoft Purview with Microsoft Sentinel and your broader security operations so teams can investigate data activity with greater context and respond through established workflows.

-
Greater visibility into where sensitive data lives

Trusted to Protect What Matters Most
Are Your Controls Actually Reducing Risk?
Security tools can look complete on paper while critical controls remain misconfigured, inconsistently enforced, or underused. Our Data Security Assessment examines your environment to verify how your Microsoft controls are configured and whether they are working as intended.
Build Ongoing Controls With Bulletproof
Effective data protection requires cross-functional teams to align on shared priorities, with clear ownership and fewer handoffs. We enable those capabilities through one coordinated partnership, helping you implement, manage, and continuously improve controls that support your wider technology environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore how data security, privacy, governance, and Microsoft Purview work together to reduce exposure and support compliance.
Data security focuses on protecting information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and destruction. It includes technical and operational safeguards such as access controls, encryption, DLP, monitoring, and incident response.
Data privacy focuses on how personal information is handled — from collection to disposal. It helps ensure information is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable privacy obligations.
Data loss prevention services identify sensitive information and apply policies that control how it can be accessed, shared, copied, uploaded, printed, or transferred.
With Microsoft Purview, DLP policies can be applied across Exchange, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, supported endpoints, and other connected environments. Policies can detect information using built-in templates, keywords, regular expressions, exact data matching, and trainable classifiers.
Data security protects information against unauthorized access, loss, leakage, or misuse. Data privacy governs how personal information is collected, processed, shared, retained, and disposed of. Data governance establishes the ownership, policies, standards, classifications, processes, and accountability needed to manage information throughout its lifecycle.
A mature program connects all three. Governance determines how data should be managed, privacy defines obligations for personal information, and security enforces the protections required to reduce risk.
Securing data across cloud and SaaS applications requires a combination of visibility, classification, access control, encryption, DLP, activity monitoring, retention, and incident response.
The first step is understanding where sensitive information is located and who can access it. Organizations can then take the following actions: applying consistent labels and policies, restricting inappropriate sharing, detecting suspicious activity, retaining required evidence, and connecting alerts to their security operations.
At Bulletproof, we use Microsoft Purview and related Microsoft security capabilities to provide cloud data security, SaaS data protection, and connected data protection across Microsoft 365, endpoints, hybrid environments, and supported cloud services.
