Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is the act of preventing data loss, which is defined as having data mistakenly or maliciously extracted from the organisation's network. DLP solutions are designed to monitor and/or prevent the inappropriate movement of data. This is performed by setting up rules, which if triggered can perform a corresponding action. These rules are based around file types, keywords and even data content.

Each of the following can be a method of data loss: 

• Attachments on emails
• Copying data to a removable storage
• Copying data to CDROM drives
• Non corporate WIFI data Transfer.
• Bluetooth
• Mobile Phone storage
• 3G dongles

Controlling these types of DLP must be achieved without impacting on the end user's business needs, or creating false positives.

ITSE offer an extensive consultancy service to enable organisations to identify and manage risks with data in motion. Our service includes:

• Practical advice on how to discover and manage sensitive data on the network
• A detailed review of company security policies, indentifying those that may cause potential risks around DLP.
• Vulnerability assessment of systems that are likely to be at a high risk from data loss
• Comprehensive reports of a summary of vulnerabilities, providing a long-term roadmap into procedures to implement which can minimise, prevent and control these events.
• Suggestion of possible DLP solutions that can be easily migrated into the existing infrastructure, for an added layer of protection

This service is offered on-site, where ITSE's dedicated consultants will provide a complete professional solution tailored to fit each business.
