Access Controls & Data Protection
Strong identity. Protected data. Reduced risk.
Access controls and data protection form the foundation of effective cybersecurity.
Abacus Access Controls & Data Protection services help you reduce risk by ensuring only authorized users can access critical systems and sensitive information, while protecting data from loss, misuse, or exposure.
As threats increasingly target identities and communication channels, Abacus delivers managed controls that safeguard access and data without slowing your business down. Abacus includes Access Controls and Data Protection within our managed IT platforms for financial services and healthcare. We integrate directly with your identity systems and communication tools to enforce consistent access policies and monitor for suspicious activity.
Our security team continuously manages configurations, investigates anomalies, and adapts controls to evolving threats and compliance requirements.
Identity and Asset Management (IAM)
Identity is the new perimeter. Abacus Identity & Access Management services provide centralized control over user identities, authentication, and authorization across cloud, on-prem, and third-party environments.
IAM is designed to reduce risk while simplifying access for users. By enforcing strong identity controls and continuous oversight, you can prevent unauthorized access, limit privilege misuse, and maintain audit-ready visibility into who can access what, when, and why.
IAM policies are continuously managed and aligned to security standards and regulatory expectations, helping regulated organizations balance usability, security, and compliance at scale.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Streamlined access to approved applications through a single, secure identity, reducing password sprawl and improving user experience without sacrificing control.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Strong authentication enforced across users, devices, and access points to reduce credential-based attacks and meet regulatory and cyber insurance requirements.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Controlled, monitored access to elevated accounts and sensitive systems, limiting standing privileges and reducing the blast radius of compromise.
Web Security
DNS-layer protection and secure web gateway services block malicious domains, filter risky content, and enforce acceptable use policies before threats reach your network.
Key elements include:
- DNS filtering with real-time threat intelligence
- SSL/TLS inspection for encrypted traffic
- Category-based content filtering and policy enforcement
- Shadow IT discovery and unsanctioned app visbility
Advanced Email Security
Email remains one of the most common and effective attack vectors. Abacus Email Security services deliver AI-enabled, multi-layered protection designed to detect and stop threats that traditional gateway-based tools miss.
Rather than relying solely on signature-based filtering, email security operates directly within the mailbox to identify malicious behavior, impersonation attempts, and business email compromise in real time.
This approach provides stronger protection for users while maintaining visibility, auditability, and response control, critical for organizations operating under regulatory and investor scrutiny.
AI-driven threat detection
Machine learning models analyze behavioral patterns, communication context, and user interactions to identify phishing, spoofing, and BEC attacks that evade static rules.
Post-delivery protection
Emails are continuously monitored after delivery, allowing suspicious messages to be automatically removed or flagged even if they initially appear legitimate.
Automated and human-verified response
High-confidence threats are remediated automatically, while ambiguous cases are reviewed by security analysts to reduce false positives without slowing users down.
Outbound protection and data safeguards
Controls help prevent accidental or unauthorized sharing of sensitive information, supporting data protection and compliance requirements.
Office 365 Backups
Abacus offers automated, encrypted backups of your entire Microsoft 365 environment that go beyond Microsoft’s native retention, ensuring increased data protection and regulatory compliance.
Key elements include:
- Exchange, OneDrive and SharePoint backups
- Configurable retention to meet regulatory requirements
- Encrypted storage
Integrated control, reduced exposure
Access controls fail when identity systems are fragmented, policies are inconsistently enforced, or email security is treated as a standalone tool.
Abacus manages access and data protection as an integrated discipline. We combine identity governance, email security, and operational oversight to reduce attack surfaces and prevent common entry points such as phishing, credential misuse, and unauthorized access.
The results are control you can trust and protection that scales as your organization evolves.
Reduce identity-driven risk with confidence
Abacus helps you reduce identity-driven risk, protect sensitive data, and maintain confidence that access is controlled, monitored, and defensible.
