Data protection & DLP

Information governance that protects
and stays compliant.

Data protection architecture and DLP governance for regulated environments — GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIS2. AES-256/TLS 1.3 encryption standards, data classification frameworks, privacy-by-design and audit-ready evidence packs.

Data protection embedded in architecture

Data protection fails when it is treated as a legal or compliance function grafted onto a completed system. The mandate I carry begins at data model design — classification, ownership, retention, encryption and access control are architecture decisions made before the first sprint, not compliance tasks assigned after go-live. The result: GDPR compliant by design, PCI DSS validated by evidence, ISO 27001 certified without emergency remediation.

Data governance framework

Data classification, ownership model, retention schedules, lineage, master data management — the foundation that makes all other controls work.

Audit-ready baseline
🔒
DLP architecture

Data loss prevention controls embedded in network, endpoint and cloud — content inspection, egress control, alerting and evidence logging.

Zero data exfiltration
🛡️
Encryption & key management

AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, HSM-backed key management, certificate lifecycle governance. Cryptographic standards enforced at architecture level.

AES-256 / TLS 1.3
