What does a data security engagement with Pluto Security actually cover?

We assess how sensitive data is classified, stored, encrypted, and accessed across your environment, including databases, file storage, and cloud services, identifying where data is exposed to unnecessary risk and where encryption or access controls need strengthening.

Do you help with data classification, or just technical encryption controls?

Both. Knowing what data you have and how sensitive it is comes first, since you can't apply the right level of protection without that context. We help build a classification scheme, then map appropriate technical controls to each category.

How does data security connect to compliance requirements like HIPAA or PCI DSS?

Nearly every compliance framework centers around protecting specific categories of sensitive data, whether that's health records, payment card data, or personal information. Strong data security controls directly satisfy the core technical requirements those frameworks are built around.

What happens to data at rest versus data in transit, are both covered?

Yes, both matter. Data at rest needs proper encryption and access controls wherever it's stored, and data in transit needs secure transmission protocols to prevent interception. We assess both, since a gap in either one undermines your overall data protection posture.

Data Protection

Data Security That Starts With Understanding Your Information

Most data security programs fail because they start with tools instead of starting with the data itself. Pluto Security begins every engagement by understanding your data landscape before recommending a single control. Our certified professionals have deep experience in regulated industries including healthcare, financial services, and retail, where data protection requirements are strict and the cost of failure is high. We build programs that are effective without creating operational friction, so your team can work efficiently while your data stays protected.

Data First Approach

Security recommendations begin with understanding the information your organization actually needs to protect.

Regulated Environment Experience

Controls can be shaped around the demands of healthcare, financial services, retail, and other regulated sectors.

Multiple Protection Layers

Discovery, access control, DLP, encryption, and monitoring work together rather than operating in isolation.

Actionable Security Guidance

Your team receives practical recommendations tied to actual data risks.

// Business impact

What Data Security Solutions Protect for Your Business

Sensitive information rarely stays in one place. Customer records, financial information, intellectual property, credentials, and regulated data can move between databases, endpoints, cloud platforms, email, and SaaS applications. PlutoSec helps you understand where important data resides and apply controls around how it is accessed, shared, and protected.

Data Visibility

Know exactly where your sensitive data lives so you can protect it and respond faster when incidents occur

Exfiltration Prevention

Prevent unauthorized data exfiltration through endpoints, email, cloud apps, and removable media

Regulatory Compliance

Demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations that carry significant financial penalties

Insurance Premium Reduction

Reduce your cyber insurance premiums by demonstrating mature data security controls

Customer Trust Protection

Protect customer trust by preventing the kind of breach that generates headlines and regulatory investigations

Insider Threat Detection

Detect and respond to insider threats and accidental data exposure before they become reportable incidents

Database Monitoring

Detect unusual database activity, unauthorised queries, privilege misuse, and suspicious access patterns.

Compliance Support

Align data protection practices with applicable requirements, including HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and CCPA.

Continuous Data Visibility

Maintain greater awareness of data movement, access activity, and potential exposure as environments change.
