Data Loss Prevention
Your data is walking out the door. KnowIT stops it.
Employees copy files to USB drives. Sensitive data gets uploaded to the web. Documents get printed and walk out the door. KnowIT tracks, alerts, and blocks data leaks before they cost you everything.
Transfer Blocked
Sensitive file contacts.csv was intercepted during an unauthorized upload attempt to Google Drive.
Data loss doesn't start with hackers. It starts with your team.
Most data breaches in small businesses come from inside — accidental or intentional. If you don't have visibility, you can't stop it.
Emails to personal accounts
An employee forwards a client spreadsheet to their Gmail "to work from home." That file now lives outside your control — forever. One forwarded email could expose hundreds of customer records.
USB drives and file copies
A departing employee copies your pricing strategy, client database, or proprietary processes to a USB drive on their last day. You'd never know unless you were watching.
Cloud oversharing
Someone shares a Google Drive folder with "anyone with the link" so a vendor can access one file. Now your entire project folder is exposed to the open internet.
You might already have a data leak and not know it
These situations happen in SMBs every single day. Most business owners only discover the damage after it's done.
A fired employee takes your client list
They copied it weeks before they left. By the time you find out, they've already shared it with your competitor. Without monitoring, you had zero warning signs.
A vendor asks for "just one file"
Your team uploads it to a personal Dropbox because the company file-sharing feels clunky. Now sensitive data sits on an unmanaged, unsecured account.
You lose a contract because you can't prove compliance
A prospective enterprise client asks how you protect their data. You don't have a documented answer — or the tools to back it up. The deal falls through.
A simple mistake triggers a breach notification
Someone CCs the wrong person on a sensitive email. Now you're legally required to notify affected parties — and the cost of that process alone can exceed $100K.

Business owners who stopped data loss before it stopped them
"We caught an employee copying our entire client database to a USB drive the week before they resigned. KnowIT's file transfer blocking stopped it cold. That one alert saved our business."
"The file tracking alone justified the cost. We can see exactly who moved, copied, or deleted any file — and the alerts catch suspicious bulk transfers before damage is done. Setup took 20 minutes."
"I had no idea how many personal USB drives were being plugged into our office machines. KnowIT showed us the full peripheral history and we locked it down the same day. Total game changer."

Common questions from business owners
Do I need an IT team to set this up?
No. KnowIT was built specifically for businesses without a dedicated IT department. Install the lightweight agent on your team's computers, configure your blocking and alert policies, and you're protected. Our support team is available if you need help at any step.
Will this slow down my employees' workflows?
KnowIT's agent runs silently in the background with minimal resource usage. Your team won't notice it — unless they try to do something that violates a policy. Legitimate file activity continues uninterrupted while only risky actions (like copying restricted files to a USB drive) get blocked.
What types of file transfers can KnowIT track and block?
KnowIT covers USB transfers, web uploads and downloads, network storage transfers, IM file transfers, and cloud file transfers. You can choose to track, alert, or fully block any of these channels. It also monitors all file modifications — creations, copies, deletions, renames, and moves.
Can I control which USB devices connect to our computers?
Yes. KnowIT's peripheral management lets you restrict which devices can connect, and the tracking feature logs every USB insertion and removal with a full connection history. You'll always know exactly which devices have been plugged into any machine in your organization.
Is my employees' privacy respected?
KnowIT monitors file movements and device connections — not personal browsing or private activities. You configure exactly which file types and transfer channels to watch. The focus is on protecting business data, not surveilling individuals.
The average data breach costs small businesses $3.31 million. KnowIT costs $14.99/user.
