Data Loss Prevention Assessment
A technical and program-level review of how sensitive information is identified, protected, monitored and prevented from leaving approved channels.
Know when to bring this work into the program.
Use this assessment when sensitive information moves through email, cloud storage, endpoints and collaboration tools without a clear view of how leakage is prevented or detected.
A scope built around the risk.
A technical and program-level review of how sensitive information is identified, protected, monitored and prevented from leaving approved channels.
- Sensitive data types and approved locations
- Email, endpoint, cloud and collaboration controls
- Sharing, downloads, removable media and personal applications
- Alert handling, exceptions and user experience
Useful output for the people who must act.
- Data-flow and control coverage analysis
- Review of existing DLP settings and gaps
- Practical policy and configuration recommendations
- Prioritized implementation plan based on data risk
A process designed for data loss prevention assessment.
Map sensitive data
Begin with sensitive data types and approved locations and confirm the systems, people and evidence needed to answer the client’s specific questions.
Trace its movement
Review email, endpoint, cloud and collaboration controls. Then evaluate sharing, downloads, removable media and personal applications to determine whether the relevant controls operate as intended.
Test the controls
Assess alert handling, exceptions and user experience and connect the result to credible security, operational and business impact.
Plan stronger protection
Provide data-flow and control coverage analysis and review of existing DLP settings and gaps, then align responsible parties around the next actions.
Move from activity to clarity.
Where can sensitive data leave approved systems?
To answer this, Elteni analyzes sensitive data types and approved locations together with email, endpoint, cloud and collaboration controls. The client receives data-flow and control coverage analysis, with the evidence, context and next steps needed to act.
Which controls prevent, warn or only log activity?
To answer this, Elteni analyzes email, endpoint, cloud and collaboration controls together with sharing, downloads, removable media and personal applications. The client receives review of existing DLP settings and gaps, with the evidence, context and next steps needed to act.
Are alerts reviewed and exceptions governed?
To answer this, Elteni analyzes sharing, downloads, removable media and personal applications together with alert handling, exceptions and user experience. The client receives practical policy and configuration recommendations, with the evidence, context and next steps needed to act.
The result does not have to live in another report.
Relevant findings, evidence, owners and remediation status can be centralized in the Elteni Platform as part of an ongoing relationship.
