For years, data loss prevention (DLP) has been out of reach for small and mid-sized companies. If you wanted to stop sensitive information from slipping out over email, your options were painfully limited.
On one side, you had “do nothing and hope for the best,” holding your breath every time someone hit send. On the other, you had heavy enterprise systems like Proofpoint — powerful, sure, but designed for Fortune 500 budgets and full-time IT teams.
Neither choice really worked. One was risky. The other was overkill.
Why Old DLP Never Fit
Ask anyone who’s tried legacy DLP and you’ll hear the same story: it’s too complicated, too expensive, and too disruptive.
Rules are rigid, alerts never stop, and employees end up frustrated instead of protected. And when the average small company doesn’t have an IT department dedicated to fine-tuning policies, those tools quickly become shelfware.
That’s why, for a long time, DLP just wasn’t something most growing businesses could use.
A New Approach
Cygrade was built on the belief that DLP could finally work for smaller organizations — without the headaches. Instead of more alerts and complexity, we designed an all-in-one solution that feels simple, smart, and affordable.
Our AI looks for real-world risks in real time: sending a contract to the wrong client, attaching the wrong file, or accidentally sharing wholesale quotes and supplier details with the wrong inbox. It catches mistakes before they leave the outbox, without slowing anyone down.
And because Cygrade combines encryption, archiving, and eDiscovery into the same platform, you don’t have to juggle multiple tools or vendors. Everything works together — out of the box.
Why This Matters
For the first time, small and mid-sized businesses can have the same kind of protection enterprises have relied on for years — without the enterprise price tag or complexity.
It means your employees can focus on their work instead of second-guessing every email. It means your clients’ trust stays intact. And it means you can finally stop holding your breath when someone clicks “send.”
The Bottom Line
We’ve processed millions of communications and supported hundreds of teams already. And this is just the start.
Our mission is simple: make enterprise-grade data protection accessible, affordable, and effective for every growing business.
Because for the first time, DLP actually delivers on that promise.
