Data loss prevention
Data loss prevention (DLP) is a set of measures and technologies designed to prevent sensitive information from being shared, leaked, or stolen without authorization. A DLP solution identifies sensitive data and automatically intervenes when someone attempts to share it—whether via email, in a cloud environment, or via a USB drive. This allows you to maintain control over your data, regardless of where it is located or who is working with it. By better securing your data, you comply with laws and regulations. This reduces the risk of fines, reputational damage, and reportable incidents.

Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Purview provides data security, compliance, and data management within Microsoft 365 and beyond. It helps organizations discover, classify, secure, and monitor sensitive information, regardless of where that data is located. Purview automatically identifies sensitive information, such as personal data, financial data, and confidential documents. This data can be classified and labeled, for example, as “strictly confidential.” Additionally, policies can be set to determine what happens to sensitive data. Visibility into where personal data is located, control over access, and logging and reporting for audits make compliance both demonstrable and manageable.

Incydr is a platform for insider risk management and data theft protection. This means it helps organizations detect and stop accidental or malicious data loss by internal personnel at an early stage.

Frequently asked questions
No, smaller organizations also handle sensitive data. DLP is scalable and can actually help organizations make smart use of their limited IT resources.
Not necessarily. You can configure DLP to issue warnings, log incidents, or block them, depending on the risk and your policy.
DLP can identify personal data, financial information, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, contracts, and confidential business documents, among other things.
