The data risks that data security services are built to close
Most exposure traces back to three things: unencrypted data, unapproved AI tools and the cost when either goes wrong.
14%
Sensitive data stored without encryption
One in seven UK businesses (14%) hold personal data that is neither encrypted nor anonymised, according to the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/2026. A lost laptop or open file share then carries real consequences.

AI tools
AI use at work has moved faster than the rules around it. Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found 67% of users reach AI services through non-corporate accounts on corporate devices, outside any company controls.

£3.13m
A breach bill measured in millions
When data does leak, the cost is substantial. IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026 puts the average UK breach at £3.13 million, and £5.46 million in financial services.

Protection starts with discovery, because data cannot be secured until you know where it lives.
Introduction
Know where your sensitive data lives and who can reach it
Data security protects the sensitive information your business holds, wherever it sits, on premises, in the cloud, or across SaaS applications, through classification, access controls and encryption. Cybit starts by identifying exactly where that data lives, because protection is only possible once it’s been found. Businesses need this to reduce breach risk and meet the expectations of customers, insurers and regulators.

Data
Business Driver
The UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/2026 found that 65% of medium sized businesses identified a breach or attack in the last twelve months, against 43% across all businesses. Most organisations cannot say precisely where their sensitive data sits, which is where that exposure begins.

Helpful Information
Frequently Asked Questions
It protects sensitive information wherever it sits, on premises, in the cloud and across SaaS applications, through discovery, classification, access control and encryption.
Because you cannot protect data you cannot see. Assessments regularly find sensitive information in places nobody expected: shared drives, decommissioned SharePoint sites, personal devices and old file servers still quietly running.
Yes. Insurers and auditors increasingly ask where sensitive data sits and who can reach it. The assessment output is written to answer that question with evidence rather than assertion.
Scope drives the timeline, but most SMB estates are reviewed and reported within a few weeks.
It can be. Verizon's 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found 67% of users access AI services through non-corporate accounts on corporate devices, which puts whatever they paste in outside company controls. Classification and data loss prevention policies can limit what leaves.
