Enterprise-grade endpoint security. At micro and small enterprise prices.
Ransomware attacks on small Indian businesses jumped 300 percent last year. Seven in ten data breaches involve your own employees. DPDP Act 2023 fines run up to Rs 250 crores. Sirius Star Secure Data Guard gives you the same three-layer protection Fortune 500 companies use, priced for a 10 to 200 person business. One managed service. All three layers. DPDP-ready from day one.
The security challenge every Indian micro and small enterprise faces today
Three forces are colliding on the desks of Indian business owners this year. Any one of them can end a good business. All three at once is the reason CIOs at large companies do not sleep. And large companies at least have a dedicated security team. Most Indian MSEs do not.
External threats
Ransomware attacks against small businesses grew 300 percent in the past year. Attackers target businesses that lack dedicated security teams. That is you.
Insider risks
Seven in ten data breaches involve employees. Sometimes deliberate theft. More often accidental exposure. Nobody in your team is watching the outbound doors.
DPDP compliance
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 lets the regulator fine you between Rs 10 crores and Rs 250 crores for a data-protection failure. Are you prepared?
Why traditional antivirus is not enough
Antivirus stops the malware that comes in through the internet. It cannot stop the salesperson who is leaving next Friday from copying the customer list to a USB stick. It cannot stop a laptop being uninstalled by an employee with admin rights. And when a laptop gets stolen from a coffee shop in Bangalore, antivirus cannot lock or wipe it. You need three layers of protection working together, not one product working alone.
Our 3-Layer Protection Architecture
Secure Data Guard combines three best-in-class engines that work together. Threat prevention keeps the outside out. Data monitoring keeps the inside honest. Device control makes both layers impossible to bypass, even by determined users.
Threat prevention
Your perimeter defence against malware, ransomware and zero-day exploits. Ranked #1 for attack prevention 2018 to 2024 by AV-Comparatives.
- Real-time malware and ransomware blocking
- Zero-day exploit protection
- Network attack defence + application firewall
- Continuous threat intelligence updates
- Minimal system impact on employee laptops
Data monitoring
Your insider-threat detection system. Watches 13 data-transfer channels and blocks or flags sensitive content in real time. Built specifically for DPDP Act 2023 compliance.
- USB, email, web, print, cloud storage monitoring
- Content-aware blocking using keywords + OCR
- Shadow logging for forensic evidence
- Employee behaviour analytics
- DPDP-ready audit trail included
Device control
Your enforcement mechanism that employees cannot bypass. If someone tries to uninstall the security agent or work offline, the MDM layer stops them.
- Remote lock, wipe and GPS locate for lost devices
- Agent tamper protection
- BYOD containerisation (work vs personal)
- Offline attack prevention
- Geofencing and app blacklisting
How the three layers work together
- Bitdefender
- Blocks external threats before they reach your network or infect any device. Stops ransomware, malware and hackers at the door.
- inDefend
- Watches what employees do with your data. Prevents unauthorised copying, sharing or uploading of customer lists, financial data and any file you tag sensitive.
- 42Gears
- Enforces every policy set by the other two layers. Ensures security measures cannot be disabled or bypassed, even by determined users trying to circumvent controls.

What this actually costs for a real business
Three examples from businesses we already protect. Numbers are indicative annual investments, GST at 18 percent additional.
Example 1
Small accounting firm, 20 users
Base security: 20 users x Rs 7,650 = Rs 1,53,000
Cloud Backup: 20 users x Rs 3,000 = Rs 60,000
Setup fee: Waived on annual prepay
Example 2
IT services company, 40 users
Base security: 40 users x Rs 11,475 = Rs 4,59,000
Cloud Backup: 40 users x Rs 4,000 = Rs 1,60,000
Setup fee: Waived on annual prepay
Example 3
Healthcare facility, 100 users
Base security: 100 users x Rs 18,700 = Rs 18,70,000
NAS Backup: 100 users x Rs 7,500 = Rs 7,50,000
PAM: Rs 25,000. Setup: Waived

Why Secure Data Guard stands apart
Complete protection, not point solutions
All three essential layers in one package. Threat prevention, data monitoring, device control. Bought separately these are three vendors, three invoices and three integration headaches. From us, one.
True enforcement, not just monitoring
Employees cannot uninstall the agents, work offline to avoid monitoring or bypass policies. The MDM layer holds the other two layers in place.
DPDP Act 2023 ready
Built-in compliance features designed for India’s data protection law. Avoid fines from Rs 10 crores to Rs 250 crores with proper written data governance.
Enterprise security at MSE prices
Same technology used by Fortune 500 companies. 40 to 70 percent lower cost than Microsoft E3 or E5 add-ons, or traditional MSP solutions.
Fully managed service
We handle deployment, monitoring, updates and ongoing support. Your IT person or CFO can focus on the business. We watch the doors.
Proven track record
Bitdefender ranked #1 for attack prevention 2018 to 2024. inDefend trusted by 300+ enterprises with 98 percent retention. 42Gears deployed across 20+ countries.
Questions Indian MSE owners actually ask us
We already have antivirus. Why do we need this?
Antivirus stops external threats like malware and viruses. It cannot prevent employees from copying customer data to USB drives, uploading files to personal cloud storage or emailing confidential information to competitors. Our data-monitoring layer stops internal data leaks. The device-control layer ensures security cannot be bypassed by uninstalling the agent.
What happens if an employee loses their laptop?
Within 5 minutes of you reporting the loss, we can track the device by GPS, remotely lock it, and wipe all company data. Even if the laptop is offline, it automatically executes the wipe command the next time it connects to the internet. Your customer data stays safe.
We are a small company. Is not this overkill?
Small companies are actually more vulnerable. You lack a dedicated security team. Your employees often have admin rights. And you cannot absorb a Rs 10 crore DPDP fine. Our Core plan delivers enterprise-grade security starting at Rs 749 per user per month. Less than one skipped subscription.
Can employees bypass this using personal devices?
Our MDM layer excels at BYOD. On a personal phone we create a secure work container where work apps run with full security. We cannot see personal apps or data. When the employee leaves, we wipe only the work container. Their personal photos and messages stay untouched.
Do you support Mac and Linux?
Yes. All three tiers fully support Windows, Mac and Linux (Ubuntu and BOSS) laptops. Our MDM also covers Android and iOS mobile devices for full endpoint coverage.
What kind of security reports do we receive?
Monthly reports include threats blocked, data-loss-prevention incidents (USB blocks, email violations), risky user behaviour patterns, device compliance status and a DPDP compliance summary. Plus and Complete tiers also get detailed quarterly audit reports.
How does DPDP compliance actually work?
Every action Secure Data Guard takes is logged. Who accessed what, when, from which device, and what was blocked. That log is your written answer if a Data Protection Officer asks how you prevent employee data leaks. We provide an annual DPDP audit report in a format your DPO can hand directly to the regulator.
Do you offer a trial?
Yes. 15 days on up to 10 devices. Free. We install, configure and monitor. At the end you see exactly what would have been blocked in a real month. No obligation to continue. About 8 in 10 trials convert.
Who do I actually deal with at Sirius Star?
A named account owner from day one. WhatsApp, phone and email in India office hours. For deals above 50 devices, Sudeep Kumar (founder) stays in the loop for the first quarterly review.
