What we help solve

When tools are in place but confidence is not.

Most organizations already own Data Protection technology. The harder questions are whether it covers the right data, whether anyone owns the outcome, and whether it actually reduces risk.

  • Unclear maturity, ownership and control effectiveness
  • Inconsistent classification, labeling and handling
  • DLP noise, coverage gaps and overreliance on blocking
  • Unknown cloud and SaaS data exposure and entitlement risk
  • Weak connections across lifecycle, insider risk and third-party sharing
  • Executives asking for clearer maturity, effectiveness and risk metrics

Capability stack

Data Protection designed as one ecosystem, not disconnected projects.

Discovery & ownership

Inventory, stewardship and source visibility.

Classification & handling

Sensitivity, labeling and clear expectations for use.

DLP & data movement

Policy modernization and progressive enforcement.

DSPM & exposure

Posture, permissions and cloud and SaaS exposure.

Access & insider risk

Entitlements, user activity and risk signals.

Cryptography, lifecycle & sharing

Key protection, retention, deletion and third parties.

Services

Two ways to engage.

Assess

Data Protection Maturity Assessment

A fixed-scope diagnostic that gives leadership a clear view of sensitive-data risk, control maturity, governance gaps and priority actions.

When to engage
You have tools and controls in place, but lack a clear view of program maturity, coverage or effectiveness.
What you receive
  • Executive Assessment Report
  • Maturity Scorecard and Heat Map
  • Risk and Findings Register
  • Target-state recommendations
  • 12–18 month Transformation Roadmap
  • Executive readout for your leadership audience

OutcomeA defensible view of where risk exists, what is working, and what should be prioritized first.

Design & Transform

Data Protection Strategy & Transformation

Translate findings into a practical, fundable target state, then lead the transformation that turns it into a working capability.

When to engage
You know the gaps and need the target operating model, control architecture and implementation path, or you have a strategy and need help executing it.
What you receive
  • Data Protection Modernization Strategy and target operating model
  • Future-state capability map and control architecture
  • Governance model and RACI with clear decision rights
  • DLP, DSPM and classification strategy
  • Vendor-neutral technology requirements
  • KPI and KRI framework and implementation roadmap
  • Transformation leadership, pilots and operational handoff

OutcomeA sustainable, measurable Data Protection capability with ongoing governance.

Inside the assessment

Eleven areas, assessed on evidence.

Each area is scored on three separate dimensions: how controls are designed, how fully they are implemented, and whether they operate effectively. Owning a tool or a policy is not treated as maturity.

  • Strategy, Governance & Accountability

    Strategy, policy, ownership, risk acceptance, funding and accountability.

  • Data Discovery, Inventory & Ownership

    Where sensitive data lives, who owns it and how complete that visibility is.

  • Classification, Labeling & Handling

    Taxonomy, labeling, handling standards, automation and adoption.

  • Access & Entitlement Governance

    Least privilege, excessive access, entitlement reviews and access lifecycle.

  • DLP & Data Movement Controls

    Policy architecture, coverage, tuning, exceptions, investigations and effectiveness.

  • DSPM & Data Exposure Management

    Exposure paths, misconfiguration, shadow and stale data, and remediation.

  • Cryptography & Key Management

    Encryption, key lifecycle, tokenization and cryptographic governance.

  • Insider Risk & User Activity

    High-risk behavior, monitoring, investigation and cross-functional response.

  • Data Lifecycle Management

    Retention, deletion, archival, legal hold and defensible disposal.

  • Third-Party & External Sharing

    Vendor data use, external collaboration, transfers and oversight.

  • Response, Metrics & Improvement

    Incident response, KPIs and KRIs, control testing and executive reporting.

  • Scored three ways

    Design, implementation and coverage, and operating effectiveness, each rated on a five-level maturity scale.

Indicative timeline

From kickoff to executive readout in about five weeks.

  1. Week 1

    Initiate

    Kickoff, scope confirmation, evidence request and interview scheduling.

  2. Weeks 2–3

    Discover

    Evidence review, stakeholder interviews and control walkthroughs.

  3. Week 4

    Assess & prioritize

    Scoring, findings development, validation and prioritization.

  4. Week 5

    Roadmap

    Roadmap development, final report and executive readout.

Transformation

Jeyancie does not stop at recommendations.

Transformation turns an approved design into functioning, measurable controls. Jeyancie leads governance, sequencing and executive reporting while your teams implement, with checkpoints before each step up.

Pilot first. Measure. Then enforce with confidence.

  1. Mobilize

    Governance, workstream charters, delivery plan and baseline metrics.

  2. Foundation

    Ownership, classification prerequisites, standards and workflows.

  3. Build & configure

    Control patterns, policies, integrations and priority technical gaps.

  4. Pilot & validate

    Test with selected users and data; review false positives and business impact.

  5. Deploy & adopt

    Expand coverage with progressive enforcement, communications and training.

  6. Stabilize & optimize

    Tune controls, reduce noise and measure outcomes.

  7. Transition & sustain

    Confirm ownership, runbooks, metrics and governance cadence for your teams.

Sound familiar?

Common reasons leaders call.

We don’t know how mature we are.

An independent, evidence-based baseline that every stakeholder can work from.

We know the gaps, but ownership is unclear.

A target operating model with decision rights, governance and a funded roadmap.

We bought the tools, but they never delivered.

Use cases, policies, metrics and adoption that put existing technology to work.

Our DLP is noisy and execution has stalled.

A transformation reset focused on precision, ownership and measurable risk reduction.

We have audit or regulatory findings to close.

A structured remediation program with accountable owners and defensible evidence.

We are merging environments.

Harmonized controls, labels, policies and governance across combined organizations.
