With cyber security incidents increasing, data encryption protects your data
Secure your business, protect your data. That’s the rule. Data theft from breaches and non-compliance fines can cause both financial and reputational damage. By putting in place robust data protection & encryption processes as part of your cyber security strategy, you can safeguard your sensitive data, including email.
Data encryption helps protect any private and personal data your business holds at rest, or in transit. This might include documents and emails, both inside and outside your business. Employees that use their own device (BYOD) require robust solutions to ensure that your business data is protected.
We ensure that data is encrypted when necessary to protect it from unauthorised access or theft.
Smallworld can help with your data protection policies, to define the requirements for cryptographic controls and keys, and the expectations for how encryption should be used to protect the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and nonrepudiation of your information.

As your business grows, so do your data protection and IT security considerations. Many businesses are now turning to scalable data encryption solutions to guard against potentially damaging data breaches and demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations.
By implementing Data encryption, we help you meet the standards of GDPR, HIPAA, PIC, and attain Cyber Essentials accreditations.
Working with advanced features in Microsoft 365 Modern Workplace solutions, and third-party tools, we safeguard against unauthorised access to your data. We can help you build the likes of DLP policies; configured policy rules to automatically encrypt emails when sent outside your organisation, and protect your files and documents.
For optimum protection against cyber-attacks, private user data should always be encrypted; this includes both data at rest (stored in a database) and in transit (transferred between endpoints). Even with in-house IT support available, this can easily become a daunting task.
At Smallworld IT, our cyber security professionals help to break down your data encryption needs, guiding you through the process of applying this critical cyber security function across your business with our complete data encryption services.

Data encryption works by converting readable data into a secured form that only users with the right “key” can decode, view, and edit. This will mitigate cyber risk and keeps data out of hands from unauthorised users.
Encrypted data remains unintelligible to anyone without the correct encryption key. In doing so, this provides a robust additional layer of cyber security, so even if hackers gain access, your private data remains safe.
In a recent survey, 90% of respondents agreed that encryption has a positive impact on their overall security infrastructure, with more than 50% saying it has significant positive impact. (Source: Securitymagazine).
