Data & More

Protect Your Digital Privacy with Data & More

When you switch to European solutions, we protect the data you already have

Every video call, chat message, and shared file creates a data trail. When organisations switch from Zoom, Slack, or Teams to European alternatives, they solve the jurisdictional problem — but the personal data already in their communication archives remains a liability. Data & More protects your digital privacy by scanning email, Teams, and SharePoint to find and classify the personal data that should not be there.

Privacy Monitor

Scan your entire infrastructure and get a real-time dashboard of where personal data lives, who owns it, and how old it is.

Data Minimization

Classify data across 28 languages, let data owners verify it, and delete what you have no legal right to keep.

Compliance Manager

Document your data governance and maintain audit trails for GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy regulation compliance.

Choosing a European alternative is your decision. Protecting the personal data you have already accumulated — in email, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and file shares — is where Data & More comes in.
