Discover how MX stands out across Security, File Control, Collaboration, and Storage. 🚀

05. How does MX protect small business data from breaches?
MX protects small business data with the same level of rigour applied to enterprise-grade platforms – by combining quantum-safe encryption, named-user access controls, regional data residency, and real-time file tracking. This multi-layered approach ensures that even in the event of attempted compromise, data remains unreadable, inaccessible, and fully auditable.
Unlike many traditional cloud providers, MX avoids risky public link sharing and instead uses ASR (Anonymise, Shard, Restore) technology to decentralise data and prevent full reconstruction without valid authentication.
MX’s breach prevention features for small businesses include:
- End-to-End Encryption: All files are encrypted during transfer and while stored, using quantum-safe protocols.
- Access Controls & Expiry Settings: Share data only with verified users, and set time-limited access to reduce risk windows.
- Audit Trails: Monitor who accesses what, when, and from where – ideal for spotting unusual behaviour.
- No Public File Links: Prevent exposure through untracked links by enforcing named-user access at all times.
As highlighted by CSO Online’s breach prevention guide, strong access control and encryption are non-negotiables – MX delivers both with simplicity and power.
MX gives small businesses the tools to proactively defend against data breaches – while remaining compliant and in control of every file shared or stored.
