Managed Data Loss Prevention Services for Businesses
Your team handles sensitive documents every day. Contracts, financials, employee records, and client data are constantly moved through email, Teams, and SharePoint. One mislabeled file or an accidental forward can trigger a compliance violation or a breach notification.
BEMO's managed data loss prevention services use Microsoft Purview to classify, label, encrypt, and control sensitive documents across your Microsoft 365 environment. We handle the setup, policy configuration, and ongoing management so your team can focus on their actual work.
What's Included in Managed Data Loss Prevention
Sensitivity Label Configuration
BEMO configures Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels across your Microsoft 365 tenant. Labels like Confidential, Internal, and Public automatically apply encryption, access restrictions, and watermarks. A document labeled "Confidential" stays protected even if someone forwards it outside your organization.
DLP Policy Setup and Management
We build and maintain data loss prevention policies in Microsoft Purview. These policies scan emails, Teams messages, SharePoint, OneDrive, and endpoint devices for sensitive content. When a policy detects a Social Security number in an outbound email, it can automatically block, warn, or encrypt the email based on the rules we configure.
Document Classification and Scanning
BEMO scans your existing document libraries to find sensitive information you may not know about. Microsoft Purview's AI-powered classifiers detect over 300 types of sensitive information. We also configure custom classifiers for data unique to your business or industry.
Access Control and Encryption
Documents labeled as sensitive are automatically encrypted with Microsoft Purview Information Protection. You control who can open, edit, copy, print, or forward protected files. That control stays in place even after a file leaves your network.
Monitoring and Incident Response
BEMO monitors DLP policy matches and alerts through Microsoft Purview's activity explorer. Policy violations trigger alerts that our team reviews, investigates, and remediates under a 72-hour SLA.
Ongoing Policy Tuning
DLP policies are not set-and-forget. As your business changes (new clients, new data types, new compliance requirements), BEMO adjusts your DLP rules, sensitivity labels, and classification models. This is included in your managed service engagement.
:: Why Choose BEMO for Data Loss Prevention Solutions
Microsoft-native approach
BEMO builds DLP on Microsoft Purview, which is already included in Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 licensing. Your organization does not need to purchase a third-party DLP tool. You also avoid managing an additional vendor.
White-glove implementation
BEMO's team handles setup, configuration, policy creation, and testing. Your team does not need to learn Microsoft Purview to deploy or manage these controls.
Compliance-aligned
DLP policies map directly to the compliance framework you are pursuing. CMMC, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 all require data protection controls that support audit readiness from day one.
Ongoing managed service
Unlike one-time consultants, BEMO continuously monitors, tunes, and maintains your DLP policies as part of your managed security or managed compliance engagement.
BEMO practices what it preaches
BEMO holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. We have been through the same audit processes we manage for our clients.
How BEMO Implements Data Loss Prevention Solutions
-
Step 1: Assessment
BEMO scans your Microsoft 365 environment to identify where sensitive data currently lives. We map how data is being shared and flag gaps in your current protection.
-
Step 2: Policy Design
Based on your compliance requirements and business operations, BEMO designs DLP policies and sensitivity label configurations. For government contractors, policies align with NIST 800-171 and CMMC requirements. For SOC 2 or ISO 27001 clients, policies map to the relevant control families.
-
Step 3: Deployment
BEMO deploys sensitivity labels, DLP policies, and encryption rules across your Microsoft 365 tenant. This covers Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and endpoint devices.
-
Step 4: User Education
Employees see policy tips when they attempt to share sensitive data. BEMO partners with KnowBe4 for security awareness training that includes data handling best practices.
-
Step 5: Ongoing Management
BEMO monitors DLP alerts, tunes policies based on false positive rates, and adjusts configurations as your business evolves. This is part of your managed security engagement, not a one-time setup.
:: Who Needs Managed Data Loss Prevention
- Government contractors and DoD subcontractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) need DLP controls to meet CMMC Level 2 requirements. BEMO implements these as part of the compliance engagement.
- Companies pursuing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 need documented data protection controls. Managed DLP provides the evidence trail auditors look for during assessments.
- Organizations in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal) face regulatory penalties when sensitive data leaks. DLP policies prevent accidental exposure before it happens.
- Organizations heavily using Microsoft 365 collaboration tools such as Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive often see sensitive information shared unintentionally. Managed data loss prevention ensures sensitive documents remain protected even as employees collaborate and share information internally and externally.
- Growing companies with 20 to 200 employees often lack a dedicated security team. Managed data loss prevention services give these organizations enterprise-grade protection without the cost of building DLP expertise in-house.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is managed data loss prevention?
Data loss prevention managed services refer to a service model where a provider like BEMO handles the setup, configuration, monitoring, and ongoing management of DLP policies on your behalf. Instead of your IT team building DLP rules from scratch in Microsoft Purview, BEMO's security engineers configure policies that detect and protect sensitive data across email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and endpoints. -
What is the difference between DLP software and managed DLP services?
DLP software like Microsoft Purview is the technology. Managed DLP services are the people and processes that implement, monitor, and maintain that technology. Most organizations have the licensing for Microsoft Purview but lack the expertise to configure it correctly. BEMO bridges that gap by managing the full DLP lifecycle as part of your security engagement.
-
Does BEMO use Azure Information Protection for document security?
Azure Information Protection (AIP) has been rebranded by Microsoft as Microsoft Purview Information Protection. BEMO uses the current Microsoft Purview stack, including sensitivity labels, DLP policies, and information protection, to classify, encrypt, and control access to sensitive documents in your Microsoft 365 environment.
-
How long does it take to set up managed data loss prevention?
DLP policy deployment is part of BEMO's broader security implementation. The typical timeline is 8 months for the full engagement. Initial sensitivity label configuration and core DLP policies deploy within the first 2 to 3 months as part of the cloud app and document security phase. Policy tuning continues throughout the engagement as usage patterns become clearer. -
What compliance frameworks require data loss prevention controls?
CMMC Level 2 (aligned with NIST 800-171), SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA all include requirements that map to DLP controls. These requirements cover protecting Controlled Unclassified Information, preventing unauthorized data sharing, and maintaining audit trails for sensitive data access. BEMO configures DLP policies that map directly to the controls your specific framework requires.
