Outcomes-based data security

Measurable risk reduction. Not just another deployment.

Vigil8 is accountable for the result, not the rollout. We locate your sensitive data, correct the access to it and govern how AI uses it. We then evidence the reduced risk to your board and regulators.

The problem

Deployed doesn't mean delivered

Data security platforms are powerful, but a successful project doesn’t guarantee reduced risk. These are the gaps we see most often.

Go-live isn't the finish line

When the project closes, tuning, remediation and adoption stall, and risk quietly returns.

The expert gap

DSPM, access governance and AI security need specialist skills. Without them, capability you’ve paid for sits unused.

AI is moving faster

Copilot, GenAI and agents consume unstructured data faster than most organisations can classify and govern it.

ROI you can't prove

Without agreed outcome metrics, value is hard to show the board, and renewals and budgets suffer.

What we deliver

Seven outcomes, one accountable partner

We work on the platform you already have, or help you choose one. What we commit to is the outcome.

DSPM

Know and classify your data

Continuous discovery of sensitive data across cloud, SaaS and on-premises, tuned to cut false positives and ranked by risk.

Least privilege

Right-size who has access

We find over-exposed data and automate the removal of excessive permissions, stale access and open sharing.

AISPM

See your AI risk

Discover shadow AI, models and agents, map the sensitive data they can reach, and assess it against a compliance framework.

AI guardrails

Control the data AI can use

Policy controls and Safe-for-AI labelling, so Copilot, GenAI and agents only use data approved for AI.

Remediation

Automate the fix

Revoke, quarantine, delete or retain at scale, with workflows integrated into your SIEM, ITSM and Microsoft Purview.

Evidence

Prove it to the board

Board-level reporting that links each outcome to risk reduced, with audit-ready evidence for GDPR, the UK DPA and AI governance.

ROT data · also available on its own

Cut storage costs by clearing out ROT data

Redundant, obsolete and trivial data pushes SharePoint and OneDrive past their storage quota, and every extra terabyte is billed. We find it, agree what goes, and remove or archive it safely, cutting your storage bill, your attack surface and the data AI can reach.

Outcome packages

Start where your risk is. Build from there.

Foundation

Know your data

A risk-ranked baseline of your sensitive data, quick wins on the most critical exposures, and agreed KPIs to measure progress.

Optimise

Reduce your risk

Least-privilege automation at scale, ROT data clean-up and retention, and your AI data access mapped.

Assure

Govern and prove

AI guardrails, managed monitoring and response, and board- and regulator-ready evidence with quarterly outcome reviews.

You pay for risk reduced.

Fees are tied to agreed outcome milestones and KPIs, not hours or project deliverables.

How we work

Outcomes agreed up front, measured all the way

Baseline

We measure where your sensitive data is, who can reach it and where AI touches it.

Agree outcomes

Together we set the KPIs, targets and review points that define success.

Deliver and automate

Our specialists tune, remediate and automate, working as an extension of your team.

Review and evidence

Quarterly outcome reviews show the risk reduced, ready for your board and auditors.

Why now

One over-exposed folder, indexed by Copilot, can surface sensitive data to every user of the tool.

GDPR penalties reach €20M or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Continuous, evidenced risk reduction lets you show due diligence to regulators, auditors and the board at any time.
