No other vendor does all three.
If Microsoft 365 is your primary data environment
Full control of your M365 environment
GuardWare connects directly to SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Exchange. DISCOVER finds and classifies sensitive data. INSIGHT monitors how it moves. PROTECT keeps it encrypted even after it leaves. No agents. No disruption. Complete visibility from day one.
Find your exposure. Then fix it.

M365 Risk Snapshot
A starting point that shows priority locations and risky sharing patterns across Microsoft 365.
What you will get
-
A ranked list of your highest-risk M365 locations
-
The main exposure patterns - org-wide access, external links, over-permissioned folders
-
Practical next actions mapped to GuardWare pathways

Data Discovery Scan
For broader environments or higher data volumes. A hands-on scan that shows you exactly where your risk sits and what to fix first.
What you will get
-
Sensitive data hotspots across your environment, mapped and ranked
-
A prioritised remediation plan based on exposure and impact
-
A clear pathway into monitoring and enforcement where needed
Only vendor delivering data discovery, continuous monitoring, and persistent file encryption in a single integrated platform.
PROTECT is the final layer, data that leaves your environment is worthless to anyone without your keys.
Data-Centric Security suite designed as one operational sequence:
Find and classify
Full monitoring across all channels including M365
Persistent file encryption
Built from evidence, not assumptions.
DISCOVER gives IT and security leaders the ability to locate sensitive data across the organisation and understand exactly where controls need to be tightened, without disruption to existing operations.
Scans file in place
Scans files, text, and images across every connected repository, M365 email, SharePoint, OneDrive, Windows, Linux, cloud platforms, file shares, and legacy archives. Identifies PII, PCI, PHI, cardholder data, and business-sensitive content using rule-based classification.
Remote Scanning included as Standard
M365 email , SharePoint and your network including end-points and servers are scanned remotely, no local agent required. The entire process is simple to setup, easy to run with zero disruption.
Remediation Workflows
Classifies and tags at the source
Rule-based classification across PII, PCI, PHI and business sensitive content. Identified data is tagged based on company's classification labels Data owners receive decentralised remediation alerts directly, with IT security oversight maintained throughout. Reduces the classification burden on your team without removing central control.
Real time Dashboard
AI rollouts. Audit responses. Incident triage. Regulatory submissions. Every one of these is more controlled when your security team is working from a complete, evidence-based picture of what data you hold and where it is.

Every channel covered.
Every risk visible.
Next-gen DLP built for the reality of 2026, where data moves across endpoints, cloud platforms, personal devices, AI tools, and home networks, often simultaneously
24-hour monitoring
Endpoint DLP Monitors data activity on corporate devices, file transfers, application usage, USB connections, print activity, and screen capture,
Alert and Email right people
Identifies sensitive data being emailed externally, copied to USB, uploaded to personal cloud storage, or fed into an unsanctioned AI tool, at the moment it happens. Alerts reach the employee, their manager, and the security team simultaneously.
Automated User education
When risky behaviour is detected, INSIGHT triggers contextual user education immediately. Behaviour change happens at the moment of the event, not six months later in an annual training session nobody remembers.
Works alongside what you already have
INSIGHT does not require a clean-slate replacement of your existing Security investment. It closes the gaps those tools leave open, adding the monitoring layer that covers the channels your current security tools cannot reach.
AI tool visibility and control including shadow AI
Detects when sensitive data is being processed by unsanctioned AI applications at the browser and application level. In 2026, your people are already using AI tools. INSIGHT makes that visible and accountable.

Your data, Under your control wherever it goes.
PROTECT applies persistent file encryption so that sensitive files remain protected after they leave your environment. The encryption travels with the file. The control stays with you.
Persistent encryption
Protected files remain encrypted when stored anywhere, transferred by any method, and when in use by an authorised user or application.
Controlling data outside your secure environment.
When a protected file is accessed by an unauthorised party, through a breach, through exfiltration, through a compromised supply chain, they cannot read it. It cannot be used as leverage in a ransomware demand. It cannot be published to cause reputational damage. It is, in every meaningful sense, worthless to them.
Revoke access
The keys that unlock it are yours. And when you need to revoke access, you can do so remotely, immediately, without any physical interaction with the file or the device that holds it.
Controlling data even if it is stolen
A breach, an insider, a compromised supply chain. When a file leaves your environment through any of these, PROTECT ensures it cannot be read, cannot be published, and cannot be used as leverage. The encryption travels with the file. The keys stay with you. Stolen data becomes irrelevant.
Supply chain data security
Every file you share with a supplier, contractor, or tender panel remains under your authority after you send it. PROTECT gives you the ability to revoke access to any file, at any time, from anywhere, the moment the engagement ends, without touching the device that holds it. You control what you share. You control when it expires.


The world's first persistent in-use encryption for design files.
Engineering drawings, CAD files, and technical IP remain encrypted while open and in active use. Share with suppliers. Respond to tenders. The encryption travels with the file. The control stays with you.

What a CISO gets from GuardWare DSPM + PE
Every other platform assumes a breach is a crisis. GuardWare makes it irrelevant.
DSPM + PE - the complete picture
Most platforms discover your data and monitor how it moves. GuardWare goes further. PROTECT adds persistent encryption so every sensitive file stays protected after it leaves your environment. Stolen data becomes unreadable. A breach stops being a crisis. That is the difference between visibility and control and it is the only capability no other vendor can match.
Real-time Alerts
When an employee makes a risky decision with sensitive data, INSIGHT notifies them, their manager, and the security team simultaneously, at the moment the event occurs, not after it has escalated.
A security culture that builds itself
Automated user education triggered in context changes behaviour from the inside out. Every risk event becomes a teachable moment, without blocking access, creating friction, or adding to your team's workload.
Evidence ready for any regulatory conversation
INSIGHT's audit trail gives you documented evidence of what was detected, what was escalated, and what action was taken, without scrambling to reconstruct a timeline after the fact.
Visibility into your AI risk exposure.
Shadow AI is already happening across your organisation. INSIGHT identifies what tools are being used, what data is being fed into them, and where your unsanctioned AI exposure sits, so you can manage it before it becomes an incident.

Why Use GuardWare’s Data-Centric Platform

Common Questions
Does GuardWare replace our existing security tools?
No. GuardWare is designed to work alongside your existing security investment, not replace it. DISCOVER maps your data estate without disrupting operations. INSIGHT closes the monitoring blind spots most tools leave open. PROTECT adds persistent encryption that no existing tool delivers. The suite complements what you already run and covers what it cannot reach.
How quickly is GuardWare operational?
DISCOVER runs a Proof of Value scan in two hours. INSIGHT is active from day one for M365 environments through native API integration, with endpoint agents deploying to corporate devices with no disruption. PROTECT applies persistent encryption at the file level without workflow changes for authorised users.
What AI tools does INSIGHT monitor?
INSIGHT monitors browser-based and application-level AI tools including ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and other third-party AI services. It identifies when sensitive data is being processed by unsanctioned AI applications and alerts security teams in real time.
What happens when a risky event is detected?
INSIGHT notifies the employee, their manager, and the security team simultaneously at the moment the event occurs, not in the next daily report. It triggers automated contextual user education at the point of the event, driving behaviour change in real time. Where your policy requires it, INSIGHT can block the transfer before it completes.
What evidence does GuardWare produce for compliance and audit?
Every DISCOVER scan produces a ranked exposure report and remediation plan. INSIGHT logs every event, alert, and action taken in a complete audit trail. PROTECT records every file access, who opened it, when, and from which device. Together the suite gives your security team documented evidence for internal governance, regulatory response, and supervisory review, without reconstructing a timeline after the fact.
Is GuardWare a DLP product?
INSIGHT is next-generation Data Loss Prevention built for the reality of 2026. But GuardWare goes beyond DLP. DISCOVER adds data security posture management, finding and classifying sensitive data across your entire environment. PROTECT adds persistent encryption so data that leaves your environment is useless without your keys. That combination, DSPM plus persistent encryption, is a category no other vendor occupies.
What is DSPM + PE?
DSPM stands for Data Security Posture Management, the ability to find sensitive data, understand exposure, and monitor how it moves. PE stands for Persistent Encryption, the ability to keep files protected even after they leave your environment, so stolen data cannot be read, ransomed, or published. GuardWare is the only platform that delivers both in a single integrated suite.
