Data Loss Prevention
Every company possesses confidential information. This may be in the form of personal data on employees and customers as well as research findings, policy and strategy documents and key figures of the company itself. Security policies can control protection against attacks. Additionally, they specify provisions for the treatment of sensitive data within a company. The concept of data loss prevention helps in the adherence to these policies. Four steps are involved:
- Recognition – All confidential data is found and recorded – regardless of where it is stored. This is followed by automatic administration including data cleansing.
- Monitoring – In order to obtain a company-wide overview, a compilation is made as to how confidential data is used, e.g. whether users are connected to the company network or whether they work offline.
- Protection – It must be ensured that confidential company data cannot leave the company. An overview of violations of the policies provides preventive protection.
- Administration – The definition of across-the-board policies throughout the company helps preventing violations of these policies and recognising pertinent reports and content.
