Service Overview
Design and implement data protection programs for cloud platforms that preserve confidentiality, integrity, and availability while enabling business workflows and compliance needs.

Core Services

• Data Classification & Mapping: Identify sensitive data stores, data flows, ownership, and processing locations across cloud services and SaaS.
• Encryption Strategy: End‑to‑end encryption designs (at rest, in transit, in use), KMS/HSM integration, BYOK/CMK models, and envelope/client‑side encryption where required.
• Key & Secrets Management: Secure key lifecycle (generation, rotation, revocation), HSM/KMS selection and integration, and secrets vaulting for CI/CD and runtime.
• Access Controls & IAM: Least‑privilege policies, attribute‑based access controls, fine‑grained RBAC for storage and data services, and just‑in‑time/temporary access patterns.
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Cloud‑native and third‑party DLP deployment for discovery, prevention, and monitoring of sensitive data movement and exfiltration.
• Storage Hardening & Configuration: Hardened storage configurations (object, block, file), versioning, lifecycle policies, public exposure checks, and secure default templates.
• Backup, Retention & Recovery: Immutable backups, cross‑region replication, retention policies aligned to compliance, and tested restore procedures.
• Data Masking & Tokenization: Field/column masking, tokenization patterns, and synthetic data generation for test/dev environments.
• Privacy & Compliance Controls: Data residency strategies, consent and lawful basis mapping, DPIA support, and controls aligned to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regimes.
• Monitoring & Detection: Data access logging, anomaly detection for abnormal data access or transfers, SIEM/UEBA integration, and alerting runbooks.
• Secure Development & Data Handling: Secure coding practices, secure test data handling, CI/CD safeguards, and data‑handling playbooks for engineers.
• Third‑Party & SaaS Data Protection: Vendor data flow mapping, contractual controls, SaaS‑level encryption and configuration reviews, and supply‑chain risk assessments.
• Automation & Policy Enforcement: Policy‑as‑code for data classifications, automated remediation for misconfigurations, and compliance evidence pipelines.

Deliverables

• Data inventory and classification map with ownership and risk ratings.
• Encryption and key management architecture with runbooks.
• DLP policy definitions, detection rules, and deployment plan.
• Backup and retention strategy with restore test plans.
• IAM policies and access control templates for data services.
• Masking/tokenization patterns and test data strategy.
• Monitoring dashboards, alerting thresholds, and incident playbooks.
• Compliance mapping (GDPR/HIPAA/PCI/etc.) and evidence checklist.

Engagement Models

• Assessment & Roadmap (2–4 weeks): discovery, data mapping, and prioritized remediation plan.
• Implementation: deploy encryption, KMS/HSM integration, DLP, and backup hardening.
• Managed/DataOps Support: continuous monitoring, policy enforcement, and incident support.
• Compliance‑Focused: DPIA support, audit evidence orchestration, and regulatory alignment.
