DataFlow

See where your data is at risk. Then lock it down for good.

DataFlow learns how your files move across people, devices and AI tools, and what's inside them. Then it shows you exactly where to encrypt first.

Why monitoring falls short

DLP guards the exits. Data keeps finding new ones.

DLP tools, including the new AI-powered ones, promise protection but deliver monitoring. They only work if they see every system and catch every bad action, every time.

Monitoring-based DLP

Watches the exits
  • Blocks only what it watches. Every new app, AI tool or unconnected system is a way out.
  • Never finishes. As your environment changes, it needs constant tuning to keep up.
  • Blind to attacks that skip the user. A breached server, SharePoint site or backup has no user action to catch, so the data leaves readable.
  • One miss is a breach.

DataFlow + DataProtect

Protects the file
  • Protection travels with the file. Encryption and access policy go wherever the file goes.
  • Encrypt once. Protected files don't need to be watched, so there's nothing to keep tuning.
  • Breached systems hold only locked files. Attackers get files they can't read.
  • DataFlow shows you where to start, so encryption lands where the risk is highest.

DataFlow isn't a better way to watch your data. It's how you stop needing to.

How DataFlow works

Two lightweight sensors. One clear picture of your risk.

Sensor 01

Endpoint sensor — what happens to files on the device

  • Tracks every create, copy, move, rename and delete, along with the user and app behind it.
  • Builds a history for each file: where it came from, where it went and who touched it.
  • Uses built-in AI classification to identify what's inside: customer data, financials, health records, credentials, source code or IP.
  • Flags risky patterns like bulk copying, archiving before a transfer, or writing to USB.

Sensor 02

Browser extension — what happens to files on the web

  • Links every upload and download back to the exact file on the device.
  • Flags sensitive files going into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI tools.
  • Catches uploads to personal email and unsanctioned cloud accounts.
  • Flags downloads from unknown sites and personal accounts.

From signals to protection

From “where's our risk?” to “it's handled.”

In practice

Three ways data gets out. Three files nobody can read.

01 · Breached server

An attacker breaks into a file server

With stolen credentials, an attacker reaches the finance and HR folders. No employee did anything wrong, so there was nothing for a DLP to catch. But DataFlow had already flagged those folders as high-risk, and they were encrypted weeks earlier. The attacker leaves with files nobody can read.

Encrypted weeks earlier
02 · AI tools

Customer data shared with AI

A sales manager uploads a CRM export to a personal ChatGPT account. DataFlow sees the download, the upload, and the customer data inside, and it spots the same pattern across the team. Sales moves to the top of the risk list and gets protected. The next export that reaches an AI tool or a personal inbox is encrypted.

Next export arrives encrypted
03 · Departing employee

A departing employee takes files

An engineer who has resigned zips up source code, copies it to a USB drive, and emails part of it to a personal account. DataFlow links every step to the same files and the same person. Once those files are protected, the copies stay encrypted, and access can be revoked the day the engineer leaves.

Copies stay encrypted

DataFlow finds where you're exposed. DataProtect closes it for good.
