Protect Data Without Losing Productivity

When Data Protection Starts Slowing the Business
Data protection keeps private information safe but can leave staff and customers waiting.
Data loss prevention, often called DLP, stops private information such as customer details leaving the business by mistake. It also holds back many emails that are perfectly safe, which is why data loss prevention automation matters.
Each held email waits for someone in security to look at it. Staff lose time, customers wait for replies, and some people start looking for ways round the rules.
Why Workarounds are where Leaks Begin
When staff work around data protection, real leaks follow.
Frustrated staff turn to personal email, file sharing sites or memory sticks, and that is where private data really escapes.
Data leaks are the top concern CEOs have about generative AI, named by 30% in the World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026.
One leak can mean a fine, lost customers and a headline. Every hour spent waiting on a safe email is time the business does not get back.
Key regulations that may apply to your business
UK & EU GDPR
Personal data must be kept secure. An email with customer details sent to the wrong person can be a breach that must be reported within 72 hours. Fines reach £17.5 million or 4% of turnover in the UK and €20 million or 4% in the EU.
How Automation Clears the Queue Without Lowering the Bar
Automation checks held emails against your rules and releases the safe ones in minutes.
Ignite Technology’s preferred automation solution, Automic, runs tasks automatically. When an email is held, it checks it against the rules your business has agreed. Safe emails are released straight away and only the risky ones go to a person. Staff can also check a document before they send it and get an answer in seconds.
Automic also brings older systems into view of your security team, and adds or removes checking power as the business gets busier or quieter.
1. Held & Checked
An email or file is stopped by your data protection system, Automic checks it against your agreed rules.
2. Released or passed on
Safe items are released in minutes. Risky ones go to a person.
3. Recorded
Every decision is written down so it can be checked later.

Our Client Success in Automation
Automating Population-Scale Processing
Case Study > Automation > Government
A national pensions agency in Northern Europe processes monthly pension payments for an entire population of retirees, where a single error carries immediate political visibility. Ignite Technology has kept that processing reliable and auditable since 2020, reducing manual intervention and supporting the digital-government standards citizens now expect.
Giving a Global Asset Manager's Leadership Control Over Investment Operations
Case Study > Automation > Financial Services
A UK-headquartered global asset manager depends on overnight NAV calculation and trade settlement completing reliably, with faster cycles like T+1 raising the stakes. Ignite Technology’s Automic-based automation gives leadership centralised, auditable control over that processing, replacing fragmented, team-level scheduling with one system they can stand behind.
Underpinned by enterprise consultancy services
Ignite’s Broadcom Automic Workload Automation and Automation Intelligence consultants sit inside the same enterprise consultancy as Agentic AI and Change Consultancy and Portfolio Leadership and Strategic Management, so Automic governance decisions account for what else is happening across your technology estate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Only emails that pass the rules your business has agreed are released. Anything risky still goes to a person, and every decision is recorded so it can be checked later.
Yes. Staff can check a document against your data protection rules and get an answer in seconds, so there is no need to guess or to go round the rules.
It is designed around Symantec Data Loss Prevention and can be set up for the other email and data protection systems you use.
Some older systems cannot report what they are doing to your security team. Automic collects that information and passes it on, so those systems can be watched too.
It can be. If the email contains personal data and puts people at risk, UK and EU GDPR require it to be reported to the regulator within 72 hours where feasible. Data loss prevention exists to stop that happening.
Automic connects to Symantec Data Loss Prevention and runs the routine steps for you, such as checking held emails against your rules, releasing the safe ones and passing the risky ones to a person. Ignite Technology designs and builds these Symantec DLP workflows around your own policies.
