DLP solutions monitor and control data flows, particularly for sensitive information such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI).

DLP is used to prevent data exfiltration, enforce data protection policies, and support compliance with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.
Organizations use DLP alongside CASB, Access Control, and Encryption to protect sensitive data and improve overall Security Posture.
