Detection Technology

How we identify sensitive data

Multiple detection methods work together to accurately identify sensitive content while minimizing false positives.

Regular Expressions

Pattern matching for structured data like credit card numbers, SSNs, and account numbers. Industry-standard patterns with checksum validation to reduce false positives.

Keyword Dictionaries

Match against custom keyword lists and phrases. Combine keywords with proximity rules and boolean logic for contextual detection.

Exact Data Matching

Fingerprint actual sensitive data from databases and spreadsheets. Detect when real customer records, not just patterns, leave your environment.

Document Fingerprinting

Create fingerprints of sensitive documents like contracts, designs, and proposals. Detect full or partial matches even if reformatted.

Machine Learning / NLP

AI-powered classification that understands context and intent. Identify sensitive content in unstructured text that patterns miss.

Optical Character Recognition

Extract and analyze text from images, screenshots, and scanned documents. Detect attempts to bypass DLP via image conversion.

Deployment

Deployment modes for every use case

Deploy DLP where you need it most—endpoints, network, cloud, or all three—with centralized policy and incident management.

Agent-Based

Endpoint DLP

Lightweight agent on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints for data-in-use protection.

  • Works offline
  • USB and peripheral control
  • Application-level visibility
  • User coaching at point of action

Inline

Network DLP

Inspect network traffic inline or via ICAP integration with proxies and gateways.

  • SSL/TLS inspection
  • Real-time blocking
  • Protocol-agnostic
  • No endpoint agent required

API

Cloud DLP

Connect to cloud applications via API for out-of-band inspection and policy enforcement.

  • No traffic redirection
  • Historical scanning
  • Native cloud integration
  • Granular app controls

Passive

Discovery DLP

Scan repositories to discover and classify sensitive data at rest without blocking.

  • File shares and NAS
  • Databases
  • SharePoint and cloud storage
  • Risk prioritization

Policy Actions

Flexible response options

Choose the right action for each policy violation based on data sensitivity, user role, and business context.

Block

Prevent the action entirely

Encrypt

Automatically encrypt before sending

Quarantine

Hold for manager approval

Alert

Log and notify without blocking

Coach

Educate user, allow override

Justify

Require business justification

Incident Management

From detection to resolution

Centralized workflow for investigating, triaging, and resolving DLP incidents with full audit trail.

1

Detection

Policy violation detected based on content, context, and user action. Event captured with full forensic detail including file content, sender, recipient, and timestamp.

2

Triage

Incidents prioritized by severity, data type, and user risk score. Similar incidents grouped for efficient review. False positives identified and used to tune policies.

3

Investigation

Analysts review incident details, user history, and related events. Determine if violation was intentional, negligent, or false positive. Escalate to HR, legal, or security as needed.

4

Remediation

Take appropriate action—user coaching, policy exception, disciplinary action, or security response. Document resolution and lessons learned.

5

Reporting

Generate compliance reports, trend analysis, and executive dashboards. Demonstrate control effectiveness to auditors and leadership.

Advanced Features

Beyond basic DLP

Advanced capabilities for mature security programs and complex data protection requirements.

User Behavior Analytics

Establish behavioral baselines for each user and detect anomalies that indicate insider threat. Identify unusual download volumes, access patterns, or data hoarding before exfiltration occurs.

Data Classification

Automatic and user-driven classification with visual labels in documents and emails. Integration with Microsoft Information Protection, Titus, Boldon James, and other classification platforms.

Risk-Adaptive Protection

Dynamically adjust DLP policies based on user risk score, device posture, and threat intelligence. Apply stricter controls to high-risk users while reducing friction for trusted employees.

Data-in-Use Protection

Control how sensitive data is used within applications—copy/paste, screen capture, print, and save operations. Enforce rights management policies even after data leaves your control.
