Without visibility into these flows, it becomes extremely difficult to know:

• which data is sensitive,
• where it is located,
• who has access to it,
• how it is being used.

A DLP strategy helps answer these questions and establish clear governance of sensitive data.

The most common causes of data leakage

In most cases, data leaks are related to:

Human error
An employee may send a sensitive file to the wrong recipient without realizing it.

Uncontrolled sharing
Confidential documents may be shared on personal or unsecured cloud platforms.

Removable media
USB drives and external disks remain a significant source of data exfiltration.

Employee departures
An employee leaving the company may take sensitive information with them.

A DLP solution makes it possible to detect and block these situations before they become security incidents.
