DLP Program Health Check

Find the noise.
Fix the gaps.

A focused, evidence-led assessment of your DLP program designed to give leaders a clear view of coverage, control maturity, alert quality, and the next actions that matter.

Designed for

Security teams that need a practical DLP readout without an extended consulting cycle.

We review how your current DLP program is built, where it is creating noise, where coverage may be thin, and which improvements can reduce risk fastest.

Example readout

A maturity scorecard leaders can understand and technical teams can act on.

The health check turns DLP observations into a simple status view: what is strong, what needs tuning, and where high-risk gaps need priority action.

DLP maturity scorecard

Illustrative assessment view

Strong / Needs tuning / High-risk gap

  • Coverage

    Confirm email, endpoint, USB, web upload, cloud, and collaboration paths are visible and enforceable.

    Needs tuning
  • Agent health

    Identify stale, disabled, unhealthy, or under-deployed agents before they become blind spots.

    High-risk gap
  • Policy maturity

    Check whether rule logic maps to real data classes, business workflows, and risk drivers.

    Needs tuning
  • Alert quality

    Separate true-positive escalation paths from noisy rules that drain analyst time.

    High-risk gap
  • Exceptions

    Review bypasses, approvals, time limits, compensating controls, and risk acceptance records.

    Needs tuning
  • Reporting

    Translate operational signal into leader-ready metrics, trend movement, and control maturity.

    Strong
  • Governance

    Clarify ownership across tuning, triage, approvals, documentation, and roadmap accountability.

Engagement shape

Built to create clarity without pulling your team into a long consulting cycle.

01

Focused assessment

A targeted review of policy logic, coverage, alert quality, workflow, and reporting—not an open-ended advisory engagement.

02

Lightweight inputs

We work from existing policies, alert samples, deployment coverage, reporting views, and short workflow walkthroughs.

03

Executive-ready output

Leadership gets the current state, the risk themes, and the specific control gaps that deserve attention first.

04

Practical next steps

Technical teams receive improvement recommendations that can feed a clean 30/60/90-day roadmap.

Start with clarity

Turn DLP uncertainty into a prioritized control roadmap.
