Data Loss Prevention
Published governance assigning DLP roles, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
Overview
Organisations often face increased risk of unauthorised data disclosure when responsibilities are unclear, classification varies and control acceptance criteria are absent. That combination creates compliance exposure and inconsistent responses when data movement is detected.
Data Loss Prevention provides a published governance framework that assigns decision authorities, records roles and responsibilities, defines acceptance criteria for controls and sets escalation paths for incidents and exceptions. The remit covers policy, control objectives, data classification and lifecycle governance while excluding procurement execution, routine operational support, financial accounting and unrelated IT domains.
