Data loss prevention that keeps sensitive information inside your company

Data loss prevention (DLP) is a set of company policies that control where sensitive information is allowed to go. It's about protecting data, not watching people. A policy might say that a file containing Social Security numbers or customer bank details can't be copied to a USB drive or emailed to a personal address — and the endpoint agent enforces it on company computers.

Most data leaks aren't the work of a sophisticated attacker. They're everyday: a customer list walking out on a thumb drive when someone changes jobs, a payroll file sent to the wrong recipient, a contract uploaded to a personal cloud account to 'finish it at home.' Customer contracts, cyber-insurance questionnaires and the privacy laws that apply to your business increasingly ask what you're doing about it. A DLP policy is a concrete, documented answer.

We run Acronis Data Loss Prevention (DLP), part of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud. Acronis states it controls more than 70 exit channels — removable storage, printers, email, messaging apps, file-sharing services, social networks and web transfers. What sets it apart is how policies get built: it starts in observation mode, learns how data normally moves in your business, and proposes rules from that behavior instead of making you write hundreds of rules from scratch.

Our job is to turn that into a process your leadership understands and signs off on. During observation — usually a few weeks — nothing is blocked. Then we sit down with someone who knows your business processes (they don't need to be technical), review what the system found and agree which data flows are legitimate. Only then do we switch enforcement on. From there we handle incidents, adjust rules when processes change, and send a monthly report.

No IT department? We run it end to end, and the business decisions — what's allowed, what isn't — stay with your leadership. Have an IT team? They work in the same console: they see incidents, take part in tuning and stay in control, while we bring the initial configuration, fine-tuning and incident support.

mitecni.co is an Acronis Platinum Service Provider based in Colombia, serving companies in Colombia and the US. The service is delivered remotely, in English, on UTC-5. And to be clear about what we don't do: DLP doesn't read personal conversations or track anyone's productivity. It enforces the information policies your company should already have in writing — and if you don't have them yet, we'll help you draft them.
