Prevent Application Data Theft

ZORB Security provides DataShield — application data theft prevention software that shows exactly what data is leaving your systems and automatically stops it when it shouldn't.

Unlike Data Loss Prevention tools, DataShield is built to stop premeditated theft where an attacker deliberately targets case data or critical IP in your application data. 

About ZORB:

  • Member of the NCSC For Startups programme (UK government's national cyber security accelerator)  

  • Founded by Dr Mark Graham — PhD in malware detection, 40 years in cybersecurity, decade of university lecturing in Cambridge  

  • Accelerate Cambridge participant (startup accelerator, Cambridge Judge Business School) 

  • Windows-native deployment — no payload inspection, no privacy risk, complements existing security stack 

What it does

DataShield sits on a Windows device and monitors everything leaving it at the application layer — Word, Excel, case management systems, legal research tools, client portals.

It validates that data is only going where it should: to the legitimate infrastructure of the approved application vendor. Anything else is blocked. 

It does not inspect the content of files. It validates the destination.

That distinction matters, there is no privacy risk and no performance impact.

Instant data theft blocking - Stopped in milliseconds, automatically

Zero business disruption - Work continues during attacks, no system shutdown

Effortless operation - No training, no daily management, runs autonomously

Compliance evidence - Automated audit trails for regulatory requirements

Works with existing security - Adds protection without replacing current tools

High level summary:

  • Traditional data loss prevention stops accidents. DataShield stops premeditated theft.  

  • Suitable for any practice area or business with high risk client data  or proprietary information (e.g. case strategy)

  • Minimum number of devices: 30 per business 

  • System requirements: Windows operating system 

  • 10 days Proof-of-Value trial available, including findings review to identify application data theft vulnerabilities

Why it matters

Most law firms and in-house teams already have Data Loss Prevention (“DLP”) tools. DLP protects against accidental data loss, such as an employee emailing the wrong file or an accidental upload. It does not protect against a deliberate attacker who has breached the perimeter and is using a trusted desktop application to steal data. 

That is the gap DataShield fills. When an attacker compromises a device, they do not send an email, they weaponise the applications already running: the case management system, the document store, the research platform.

DLP does not see this. DataShield does.
