Package 3: KMS Absolute Data Defense

AI-Ready Data Security & Governance

The Data Security Threat Landscape

Data breaches cost organizations an average of $4.45 million per incident, with 83% involving data stored in the cloud. Ransomware operators systematically target unprotected databases and file shares for encryption, while insider threats exploit excessive data access permissions for theft and sale on dark markets. AI-powered threat actors now conduct automated data reconnaissance, identifying sensitive information patterns and exfiltration pathways within hours of network compromise.

The KMS Solution: Absolute Data Defense

KMS Absolute Data Defense transforms data vulnerability through intelligent discovery, automated classification, and proactive protection mechanisms. Microsoft Purview deployment with data security posture management provides visibility into data location, sensitivity, and access patterns. Advanced DLP policies with insider risk management capabilities detect and prevent both external theft and internal misuse while maintaining user productivity and compliance requirements.

Core Capabilities

Intelligent data protection with automated classification and threat prevention

  • Data Discovery & Inventory - Automated discovery and mapping of sensitive data across cloud and on-premises environments with real-time location tracking

  • Data Classification & Labeling - Machine learning-powered sensitivity labeling with automated policy application and user-driven classification workflows

  • Data Loss Prevention - Intelligent DLP policies across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and cloud applications with behavioral pattern detection

  • Insider Risk Management - Detection of risky user behavior including data hoarding, unusual access patterns, and potential exfiltration activities

  • Data Lifecycle Governance - Automated retention policies, legal hold capabilities, and secure deletion procedures with compliance audit trails

  • Protection Policy Automation - Dynamic policy enforcement based on data classification with real time access control adjustments

Built-In Observability

Zero Trust with Zero Blind Spots - Security without visibility creates false confidence

  • Data Flow Analytics - Real-time visualization of data movement patterns and access trends across all environments

  • Classification Effectiveness Metrics - Tracking of labeling accuracy, policy coverage, and automated classification success rates

  • DLP Performance Dashboards - Policy violation trends, prevention effectiveness, and user behavior analytics

  • Executive Data Protection Views - Enhanced dashboards covering identity, workspace, and now data security posture metrics

We include observability as core infrastructure because Zero Trust requires zero blindspots. Every deployment includes monitoring and dashboards to ensure you can see your security working.

Security-as-Code Delivery

  • Infrastructure-as-Code - Microsoft Purview and DLP infrastructure with automated policy deployment and version control capability

  • Battle-Tested Configurations - Proven data protection patterns eliminating implementation risk and policy conflicts
