Data Loss Prevention for Email: Secure Communication Solution | Zivver

Stop data leaks before they impact your business

Accidental data loss remains one of the greatest risks to organisations today. Whether it’s sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient, sharing unencrypted files, or falling victim to human error, the consequences can be severe, including regulatory fines, reputational damage, and loss of client trust.

Zivver empowers your people to prevent data leaks at the source, without slowing down productivity.

Empower employees, protect sensitive data, ensure compliance

Most data loss incidents are the result of simple mistakes - misaddressed emails, unsecured file sharing, or overlooked compliance requirements. Zivver’s data loss prevention solution gives your teams the tools and confidence to share information securely and compliantly, every time.

• Prevent accidental data leaks by alerting users to risky actions before information leaves your organisation.
• Protect sensitive data with strong encryption, access controls, and powerful business rules.

Zivver Secure Email and Encryption Gateway integrate seamlessly with your existing email client, including M365, Outlook, and Gmail, providing invisible protection that empowers users and reduces IT workload.

How can you stop data loss before it happens?

Real-time alerts and smart policy checks

Zivver automatically detects when sensitive data (such as personal, financial, or regulated information) is about to be sent.

Users receive instant, clear alerts and recommendations, allowing them to correct mistakes before data leaves the organisation. Customisable business rules protect sensitive data in accordance with security policies.

How does Zivver protect sensitive information in every message and file?

Zero-knowledge-encryption and access controls

Secure emails and files are protected with advanced zero-knowledge encryption – meaning even Zivver can’t access stored sensitive data.

Set download limits, expiry dates, and access permissions for every file or email, ensuring only the right people can view or download sensitive content - even after it’s sent. If an email is sent in error, users can recall emails and files without time limits. Zivver even provides a transparent overview of email performance, including whether emails have been opened.

How do you ensure compliance and simplify audits?

Automated compliance and full audit trails

Zivver supports compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and DPA.

Every action is logged, creating a complete, searchable audit trail for regulators and internal reviews. Automated reporting makes it easy to demonstrate compliance and investigate incidents.

Over 10,000 companies email securely with Zivver
