Protect Your Most Valuable Asset.
Your Data.
Most organisations already own the technology required to protect sensitive information.
The challenge is identifying what matters, agreeing what should be protected, and deploying controls without disrupting the business.
Bushey helps organisations establish Data Loss Prevention controls, and embed sustainable governance across the enterprise.
Sensitive Information Is Rarely Contained Within a Single Platform
Customer records, employee information, contracts, financial data and intellectual property are often distributed across hundreds of repositories.
Before protection can begin, organisations must first understand where their data resides.
- 8
Distinct platform categories typically hold the same sensitive records.
- 100s
Repositories in a single enterprise, most of them never formally reviewed.
- 0
Controls can be designed with confidence until discovery is complete.
The Failure Points Are Rarely Technical
Technology implemented before policies exist
No agreed data ownership
Inconsistent classification standards
Limited business engagement
Excessive false positives
Regulatory expectations not clearly understood
Overly complex security policies
DLP is rarely a technology problem. It is typically a governance, ownership and adoption challenge.
Six Connected Stages, One Operating Model
Discover
Locate sensitive information across repositories, platforms and endpoints.
Assess
Understand exposure, regulatory obligations and business risk.
Classify
Agree sensitive information types, labels and retention rules.
Govern
Establish ownership, accountability and decision rights across the business.
Protect
Deploy DLP controls, auto-labelling and enforcement without disrupting operations.
Monitor
Report, tune and sustain controls as the data landscape changes.

From Stalled Programme to Regional Success
A major APAC insurer's Data Privacy and Protection programme had stalled following implementation challenges, supplier alignment issues and governance gaps.
Bushey paused delivery, redesigned the programme structure, renegotiated key delivery arrangements and re-established stakeholder confidence.
The programme ultimately delivered successful file labelling, improved governance controls and a sustainable operating model across multiple jurisdictions.
Close to 200 million unstructured files were assessed across seven countries, with the first six delivered inside twelve months.
Establishing Consistent Data Protection Across APAC
Bushey was engaged to support an APAC-wide Data Privacy and Protection initiative designed to strengthen governance, improve compliance outcomes and standardise protection controls across regional business units.
The programme delivered governance structures, operating disciplines, reporting frameworks, stakeholder engagement processes and the technology alignment required for long-term success. The framework was subsequently used to support regional rollout activities including implementation within Australia.
Delivering DLP Where Previous Attempts Failed
A leading European bank had undertaken several unsuccessful DLP initiatives before engaging Bushey.
Working collaboratively across risk, compliance, business and technology functions, Bushey established a practical implementation programme centred on governance, operating procedures and business engagement.
The engagement included DLP policy design, technology assessments, DLP rule development, control frameworks and the preparation of sensitive information definitions required for deployment.
