Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Technologies and policies that detect and prevent the unauthorised transfer, leakage, or destruction of sensitive data from an organisation.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools monitor and control data movement across your organisation — emails, file transfers, cloud uploads, USB copies, and print jobs. They can detect when sensitive data (credit card numbers, IC numbers, medical records) is about to leave the organisation and either block or alert on the action. Under PDPA, implementing DLP demonstrates the "practical steps" required to protect personal data from unauthorised disclosure.
