Regulated and commercially valuable files never stay where they were put. They get exported for a mailshot, sent to the bookkeeper, copied to a memory stick for a meeting, and abandoned in a downloads folder. These two circuits locate them, then govern what may become of them.
Every data protection product ever sold assumes the buyer knows where the sensitive files are. Almost no small firm does, and those convinced they do are usually counting the tidy copy inside the trade system and overlooking the eleven spreadsheets that came out of it.
Actifile searches the machines and shares you enroll and reports what turned up and where. It also scores exposure on each machine, which sounds like a vanity number and is not: it converts an intimidating heap of findings into a ranked list, so the laptop carrying four thousand records gets dealt with ahead of the one carrying nine.
Circuit two acts on whatever circuit one turned up. Encryption goes onto the file rather than only onto the disk beneath it, and that distinction is the one that counts once a copy leaves the building. A file carried out on a memory stick and left in the back of a taxi cannot be opened by whoever picks it up.
Exit control covers the ways data leaves, and a release request lands with a person, so genuine work is never halted. Balancing those two is the entire craft. A control nobody can work around gets switched off inside a month, and a control everybody can work around was never a control at all.
Prices below arrive straight out of billing. Whatever gets patched in waits on the list while you read on.
Nothing protects a folder that nobody has ever located. This searches the machines and shares you enroll and reports where the card numbers, the medical notes, the wage runs and the client lists have quietly piled up over the years.

With the sensitive files identified, this governs the exits. Encryption rides along with the file, so a copy that ends up on a memory stick left in a taxi is a copy that whoever finds it cannot open.

This position earns its keep and it has edges. Set out below is the ground these circuits leave uncovered, plainly enough to plan around.
