Stop Sensitive Data From Walking Out — Acronis DLP by palmiq

Acronis DLP prevents data leaks across 70+ channels with behavior-based policies that deploy in weeks, not quarters. palmiq runs it as a managed service.

What Is Acronis DLP?

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) watches how data leaves your endpoints — USB drives, printers, cloud uploads, messaging apps, personal email — and enforces policy on what's allowed, based on the content and context of each transfer. Acronis DLP covers 70+ leakage channels, with pre-built classifiers for regulated data: personally identifiable information (PII), patient health information (PHI), cardholder data, and documents marked confidential.

Traditional DLP's dirty secret is deployment: months of manual policy writing that's stale on arrival. Acronis' answer is behavior-based automation — the platform baselines your organization's actual data flows, generates policies from observed reality, and keeps adjusting them as the business changes.

Why It Matters

  • The Leak Is Usually Mundane

    Not a hacker — a spreadsheet of client data emailed to a personal account, a departing employee's USB stick, patient records to the wrong printer. Policy-based controls stop exactly these.

  • Compliance Out of the Box

    Pre-built GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-relevant classifiers strengthen regulatory posture from day one — and better data controls can help with cyber insurance terms.

  • Evidence When It Counts

    Centralized audit logs, alerts, and information-rich reporting turn "we think we're careful" into demonstrable control — for auditors, insurers, and incident investigations.

  • Part of the Platform

    Same agent, same console as your backup and EDR — DLP without another vendor, another deployment, another dashboard.

How palmiq Delivers It

  1. Observe

    • Observation-mode baseline: where sensitive data actually flows today. The findings alone are worth the exercise.
  2. Enforce

    • Behavior-based policies reviewed with you, then enforced — with sensible handling for legitimate exceptions.
  3. Operate

    • palmiq monitors DLP events 24/7, investigates anomalies, and tunes policies as your business changes.

Common questions

Will DLP block legitimate work?

The behavior-based baseline exists precisely to prevent that: policies derive from how your teams genuinely work, and palmiq tunes exceptions during rollout. Observation mode first, enforcement second.

What channels does it cover?

70+ — removable media, printing, clipboard, network communications, messaging, webmail, and cloud uploads among them, on the endpoints where data actually leaves.

Is DLP overkill for a small business?

If you hold PHI, cardholder data, or client PII, DLP is how you demonstrate control of it. The managed model makes it viable without a compliance department.
