This cross-functional flowchart for a DLP project depicts the tools and processes used to ensure that unauthorized users do not misuse or access sensitive data. DLP software categorizes regulated, confidential, and business-critical data and detects policy violations defined by organizations or within a predefined policy pack, typically driven by regulatory compliance such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or GDPR. Once violations are identified, DLP enforces remediation with alerts, encryption, and other protective actions, as shown in this DLP project cross-functional flowchart.
