Data Loss Prevention (DLP) at a glance

How a DLP solution protects sensitive data

Data loss prevention starts with sensitive data discovery - finding CNIC numbers, card data, personal data and confidential documents across file shares, endpoints and cloud. Policies then monitor and block data exfiltration through email DLP, endpoint DLP for USB and printing, and cloud DLP for SaaS apps.

Symantec DLP and Microsoft Purview DLP

SecureBeans deploys Symantec DLP for large, complex estates and Microsoft Purview DLP for organisations on Microsoft 365. We tune policies to reduce false positives, set up incident workflows for insider threat cases and map controls to compliance requirements from SBP, PCI DSS and data protection laws.

FAQ

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) - frequently asked questions

What is data loss prevention?

Data loss prevention (DLP) is technology that discovers sensitive information and monitors or blocks it from leaving the organisation through email, web, cloud apps, USB or printing.

Symantec DLP or Microsoft Purview DLP - which is better?

Symantec DLP offers deep, mature controls across network, endpoint and storage for large enterprises; Microsoft Purview DLP is tightly integrated with Microsoft 365 and is often already licensed. SecureBeans recommends based on environment and existing licences.

How long does a DLP project take?

A first phase - discovery, monitoring-only policies and tuning - usually takes four to eight weeks. Blocking policies are then switched on gradually to avoid disrupting business processes.
