Why full-scale DLP doesn’t fit mid-sized business
Classic DLP platforms were built for large corporations. They’re expensive, take months to roll out, and need a dedicated information-security team just to work through the stream of alerts they generate. Most mid-sized companies don’t have that headcount, so a full DLP deployment ends up as an expensive shelf product nobody actually uses.
What mid-sized business actually needs
Three layers cover most of the leak risk:
| Layer | What it does |
|---|---|
| Access control | everyone sees only their own data; bulk exports are flagged |
| Anomaly detection | AI catches bulk exports, pre-resignation downloads, USB transfers |
| Trade-secret regime | legal protection for the data and grounds for consequences |
What it protects against
- •Employees copying the client database before they leave for a competitor
- •A spike in downloads right before someone hands in their notice
- •Data walking out on a USB drive or through a personal email account
- •Access to records outside a person's actual job
CorpShield covers all four patterns in one deployment. See how the access log and anomaly detector work together on the product page.
How it’s deployed
Stitex CorpShield deploys turnkey: it logs access, AI flags the anomalies, and it helps you put a trade-secret regime in place with proper legal grounding. No dedicated security hire required.
FAQ
Isn't full DLP too expensive for us?
Enterprise DLP platforms are priced and staffed for corporations. That is exactly what makes them expensive and slow to deploy. A mid-sized company does better with a lighter stack: access control, AI anomaly detection, and a trade-secret regime, deployed turnkey without an in-house InfoSec team.
Do we need to hire someone to run it?
No. AI finds the anomalies and sends plain-language alerts instead of a flood of technical logs nobody has time to read. A manager reacts to one flagged event instead of a security analyst combing through a queue.
Is this legal?
Monitoring work activity on company devices and in corporate systems is legal once employees are notified and the company has a documented trade-secret regime in place. In Russia that regime rests on Federal Law 98-FZ, and any personal data involved is processed under Russia's data-protection law (152-FZ), broadly comparable to GDPR-style consent and notice requirements elsewhere.
