Data security with business context
Move from hidden data
to informed action.
Sensitive information can sit across endpoints, servers and cloud repositories. Understanding where it is and monitoring in real time how it is handled is the starting point for deciding what to protect.
02 / QUANTIFY
Explain the exposure.
Use FAIR financial risk values to bring data exposure into a business discussion. Review the assumptions behind the figures before using them in decisions.
03 / PROTECT
Apply file-level encryption.
Use adaptive encryption and monitoring to help protect sensitive files. Review how access, sharing and decryption work in your organisation’s workflows.
Make the demonstration relevant
Start with your data.
Follow the workflow.
Discuss the locations, data types and working practices that matter to your team. Then examine how discovery and protection would fit.

Questions to answer before deployment
Build protection around
the way your team works.
We can discuss suitability and agree the technical and commercial questions that an evaluation needs to answer.
Which data locations will be covered?
Confirm supported endpoints, servers, cloud services, operating systems and file types for your intended scope. Coverage depends on the selected deployment and product capabilities.
How will encryption affect daily work?
Encryption operates seamlessly for normal day-to-day activities, applying allowlisting to allow/prevent identified exceptions. Users have a capability to decrypt sensitive data before sharing, all under the eyes of the audit logs.
What do the financial risk figures mean?
They provide monetary risk values for every sensitive file to anticipate loss exposure of the current data estate, identifying the highest data classification risks and areas for adaptive encryption.
Does using Actifile establish compliance?
No. Actifile identifies the data related to your governance, regulations and compliance obligations, highlighting where you may be at risk if such data was exposed. You should use Actifile as the source of data truth for your compliance products and policies.
