Data Loss
Prevention (DLP)

Solution Overview

The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution helps organizations prevent the loss or unauthorized access to sensitive information. It monitors and controls data flows across networks, internal systems, and cloud environments, ensuring critical information is protected against accidental or deliberate disclosure. Allowing full oversight of sensitive data usage and movement, DLP enables automated enforcement of security policies, supporting regulatory compliance and reducing operational risks.

A DLP system detects, monitors, and prevents the loss or disclosure of sensitive data, such as financial information, employee personal data, or intellectual property. The solution minimizes the risk of regulatory penalties or reputational damage while providing IT and security teams with real-time alerts and detailed reports on security events.

This solution supports compliance with NIS2 requirements. It helps implement the security measures outlined in Article 21 by continuously monitoring and protecting data and facilitates incident reporting according to Article 23 by quickly identifying unauthorized access or exposure of sensitive information and providing the necessary information for mandatory notifications.

By offering accurate, real-time visibility, IT and security teams can quickly identify risks, assess potential impacts, and prioritize remediation actions. At the same time, it reduces manual effort, prevents misconfiguration, and supports strategic decision-making across the organization.

This solution directly supports NIS2 requirements regarding asset management, risk assessment, and security governance. Maintaining an up-to-date inventory of all critical assets enables organizations to demonstrate compliance, respond proactively to threats, and strengthen overall cybersecurity resilience.
