Indian MSMEs hit by data theft in last 2 years
Two out of three Indian MSMEs experienced a data theft incident in the last 24 months. 60% of breaches came from employees, not external hackers. Average cost of one breach: ₹17 lakhs. DPDP penalties go up to ₹250 crore. Secure Data Guard prevents the breach and gives you forensic evidence if one happens.

How Rajesh lost a 23-year garment business in 14 days
Rajesh built his garment manufacturing business in Bhiwandi over 15+ years. When his sales manager Arjun resigned, he was sent off with a bonus and a handshake. What Rajesh did not know was that during the two-week notice period, Arjun stayed late every night copying the customer database, pricing sheets, supplier contracts, and three years of sales data to a pen drive.
Resignation accepted. Two-week notice agreed. Nothing flagged.
6,247 customer contacts copied to pen drive after hours. Pricing forwarded to personal Gmail. Supplier contracts photographed.
Major clients call. Competitor is offering identical designs at 15% lower price.
Factory closes. Total loss: ₹2.3 crores. 15+ years of work, gone.
“If I had spent ₹2 lakhs on proper security, I would still have my ₹5 crore business today.”
Rajesh’s story is composite but every detail is from real incidents we have seen on the ground.
Three security walls between you and a data breach
Each wall stops what the previous one missed. Layered protection that holds even when one layer is bypassed.
Wall #1 – Virus & ransomware protection
Stops ransomware before it locks your files. Blocks phishing links inside email. Auto-blocks suspicious websites. Daily threat updates pushed silently to every device. The security guard at your office gate, except it is on every laptop.
Wall #2 – USB & pen drive control
Blocks copying customer lists, pricing sheets, or design files to pen drives by default. Authorised USB devices can be whitelisted per user. Every USB attempt logged with timestamp. Pen drives stop being your weakest exit.
Wall #2 – Email & cloud upload blocking
Stops employees forwarding confidential data to personal Gmail or Yahoo. Blocks uploads to personal Dropbox and Google Drive. Print monitoring catches anyone trying to walk out with paper copies of customer data.
Wall #3 – Tamper-proof device protection
Remote lock and wipe within 5 minutes if a laptop is stolen. GPS tracking on every device. Tamper protection – if an employee tries to uninstall the agent, the device auto-locks and shows “Contact IT.” This is the wall that prevents the Ravi scenario where security gets silently removed.
BYOD safe-box on personal phones – we wipe work data without touching personal photos or contacts.
All three walls from ₹749 per device per month
Activity logs as legal evidence
Every file access, USB attempt, email send, and cloud upload is logged with user, timestamp, and device. CCTV for your data. If something does walk out, you have forensic evidence that holds up in court – not a he-said-she-said.
- 01
Week 1 – Free security check
A 2-hour visit to your office. We review your current device estate, network, and where sensitive data sits. You receive a written risk assessment and a Secure Data Guard plan tailored to your business – not a generic template.
- 02
Week 2 – Silent installation
The agent installs on every laptop and desktop. We start with two or three machines, validate, then roll across the fleet. Staff keep working through it. No reboots forced during business hours. Tamper protection is on from day one.
- 03
Week 3 – Manager training
One hour for you and your managers on the security dashboard. A 15-minute briefing for all staff so they know what the new agent does and does not see. We stay reachable for questions all week.
- 04
Week 4 – Protected
First monthly report lands in your inbox – every blocked attempt, every alert, every device status. From here, you sleep. We do the watching.
How a Secure Data Guard rollout runs
Free check first. Installation second. Training third. Protected by week four.
Is Secure Data Guard right for you?
Secure Data Guard is endpoint security for Indian businesses where employees handle sensitive customer, financial, or medical data. Three walls – virus protection, data movement controls, tamper-proof device management – wrapped in a managed service with 8-hour response.
Coverage is endpoint-native. It runs the same whether your team uses Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or a mix.
Secure Data Guard is our own managed service. We also evaluate and deploy the DLP and endpoint stack that fits the customer – Bitdefender GravityZone, Sophos Intercept X, CrowdStrike Falcon, Trend Micro, GTB DLP, Safetica, Fortra Digital Guardian, Trellix DLP, Forcepoint, Proofpoint, and Microsoft Purview. The agents you live with should match the risks you actually carry.
You are a fit if:
- You have 10 or more employees handling customer or client data on their devices
- Customer names, phone numbers, addresses, PAN, Aadhaar, bank details, or medical records are stored or processed by your team
- Employees carry laptops outside the office – site visits, client meetings, work-from-home
- You have had a recent resignation, exit, or termination where data exposure is a worry
- The DPDP Act applies to your business (it almost certainly does)
- You currently have zero visibility into what employees copy, email, or upload
Skip this if you are under 10 people with no client data beyond a phone list, or if you already run a fully tamper-proof endpoint protection stack with active monitoring. We will tell you that on the security check instead of pitching you.

Frequently asked questions about Secure Data Guard
- What is Secure Data Guard?
- Secure Data Guard is a managed endpoint security service for Indian businesses. It protects you with three security walls:
- Wall #1 – Virus protection against ransomware, phishing, and malicious websites
- Wall #2 – Data movement controls over USB drives, personal email, and personal cloud accounts
- Wall #3 – Tamper-proof device management with remote lock, GPS tracking, and an agent employees cannot uninstall
From ₹749 per device per month, all three walls included.
- How much does Secure Data Guard cost?
- Three packages, all including all three security walls:
- CORE – ₹749 per device per month, for 10 to 50 devices
- PLUS – ₹1,249 per device per month, for 50 to 100 devices, adds activity reports, real-time alerts, BYOD safe-box, quarterly review
- COMPLETE – Ask for price, for 100 to 200 devices, adds advanced threat detection, 24×7 support, monthly review, compliance certificates, dedicated account manager
Billed annually. No setup fee on a 12-month commitment.
- What does each “wall” actually do?
- Each wall stops a different exit route:
- Wall #1 Virus – Blocks ransomware, phishing links in mail, dangerous websites. Daily threat updates. First line of defence against external threats.
- Wall #2 Data Monitoring – Blocks pen drives, personal Gmail/Yahoo sends, uploads to personal Dropbox or Google Drive, unauthorised printing. Logs every attempt.
- Wall #3 Device Protection – Remote lock and wipe in 5 minutes. GPS tracking. Tamper protection so the agent cannot be uninstalled. BYOD safe-box on personal phones.
You get all three. There is no “buy just one wall” option.
- How does Secure Data Guard map to the DPDP Act 2023?
- DPDP Section 8(5) requires “reasonable security safeguards” against personal data breach. Secure Data Guard maps to three concrete operational requirements:
- Prevention of unauthorised access – Walls 1 and 2 block the exits before data leaves
- Breach notification – Wall 3 activity logs and our quarterly reports give you the audit trail to notify the Data Protection Board with evidence, not guesses
- Records of processing activities – Every file access, USB, email, and upload attempt is logged with user, timestamp, device
Penalties under DPDP go up to ₹250 crore per breach. Secure Data Guard sits well below that as an annual cost.
- How long does Secure Data Guard take to deploy?
- Three to four weeks for a fleet up to 200 devices:
- Week 1 – 2-hour office assessment and written plan
- Week 2 – Silent installation across all devices. Staff keep working through it.
- Week 3 – 1-hour manager training, 15-minute staff briefing
- Week 4 – Live monitoring, first monthly report delivered
Zero downtime. No business disruption.
- What happens if Secure Data Guard blocks a legitimate work action?
- The first 30 days run in audit-and-warn mode – users see a policy tip but nothing is hard-blocked. From day 31:
- High-severity attempts (mass customer data to personal email, full database to USB) – hard block
- Mid-severity – warn with self-service justification, logged for manager review
- Low-severity – audit only
Every blocked action has a self-service unlock path with manager approval. After the first month of tuning, false-positive rate sits under 2% of triggers.
- Does Secure Data Guard need a specific email or productivity stack?
- No. Secure Data Guard is endpoint-side. The agent runs the same regardless of the productivity stack:
- Google Workspace – same endpoint protection, the agent does not care which mail client
- Microsoft 365 – works alongside, pairs with Purview if you already have it
- Zoho One – supported, same as the others
- Mixed estates – common in Indian SMBs, fully supported
- On-prem or hybrid – supported, the agent runs locally on each device
If you also need cloud-side data controls – Bitdefender, Sophos, CrowdStrike at the workload layer, or Purview/AvePoint/Aurva at the information layer – see our Cloud practice.
- Can Sirius Star support sites outside Mumbai?
- Head office in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Pan-India coverage. The split:
- Installation and monitoring – fully remote. Devices anywhere in India enrol the same way.
- On-site week-1 assessment – Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai
- Remote week-1 assessment – everywhere else, via screen-share with your IT contact
Same SLA, same service, regardless of location.
- Can Secure Data Guard help if a data breach has already happened?
- Yes. We run a separate forensic engagement for active breaches:
- Scope of compromise assessment
- Exfiltration timeline reconstruction from available logs
- Evidence preservation to support legal action
- DPB notification draft if reporting is required
Billed separately from Secure Data Guard because it is investigative work. Once contained, we deploy Secure Data Guard to prevent recurrence. Reach us on WhatsApp +91 91375 93228 if you suspect an active breach right now.
