NanoProtect™

Data Protection, DLP Controls & Backup Assurance for New Zealand Businesses

Safeguard your organisation’s most critical asset — its data. NanoProtect™ delivers structured data protection, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), encryption alignment, and backup assurance to reduce breach risk and ensure recoverability.

Designed for modern cloud environments, this service strengthens how your business handles, protects, and restores sensitive information.

Data Breaches Are Increasing for New Zealand & Australian Small Businesses

Most data breaches in SMB environments are caused by:

  • Misconfigured cloud platforms (Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace)
  • Lack of Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
  • Unverified or failing backups
  • Poor data classification and handling practices
  • Human error (email misdelivery, file sharing)

Many organisations operate without:

  • Visibility of sensitive data
  • Defined data classification policies
  • Tested backup and recovery capability
  • Encryption and retention alignment

This exposes organisations to:

  • Data loss and privacy breaches
  • Compliance failures (NZISM, Privacy Act)
  • Ransomware impact with no recovery certainty
30%+ of SMBs cannot recover after major data breach
Email and cloud misconfiguration are leading causes of breaches

Key Deliverables

  • Data classification workshop (NZISM-aligned)
  • DLP configuration uplift (M365 / Google Workspace)
  • Backup verification and restore simulation
  • Encryption and retention policy alignment
  • Data lifecycle risk assessment
  • Breach response and containment guidance
  • Data protection improvement roadmap

These controls significantly reduce data leakage risk and ensure your organisation can recover quickly from incidents.

What Your Organisation Gains

FAQ

DLP refers to technologies and policies that prevent sensitive data from being shared, leaked, or accessed inappropriately. NanoProtect™ implements DLP controls across email, cloud storage, and collaboration platforms.

Data classification allows your organisation to identify what information is sensitive and apply the correct level of protection, ensuring compliance and reducing exposure.

We configure DLP, access controls, encryption, and sharing policies within Microsoft 365 to prevent accidental or malicious data exposure.

No. Many businesses assume backups work, but they are rarely tested. NanoProtect™ validates backup integrity and performs restore simulations to ensure recovery is possible.

Yes. It is specifically designed for SMBs handling sensitive data, including medical, legal, financial, and education sectors.

Yes. NanoProtect™ aligns with NZISM, CIS Controls, and Privacy Act expectations for data protection and handling.

Customer data, financial records, staff information, intellectual property, and any sensitive or regulated data within your environment.

Controls are designed to be practical and minimally disruptive, while still enforcing strong protection and governance.

Yes. DLP and access controls significantly reduce the risk of accidental or intentional data misuse by internal users.

No. NanoTech IT manages the implementation and provides guidance tailored to your environment.

Typically 3–5 weeks depending on environment complexity and scope.
