Cloudflare DLP

Protecting your organization’s most sensitive data

With the shift to hybrid work, it is harder than ever to maintain visibility and security controls over how users move and store data across cloud environments. At the same time, the financial and reputational risks to losing sensitive data are higher than ever – with IBM’s latest research estimating the average cost of a data breach at $4.35M.

Reduce your organizational risk by taking a proactive approach to data security. Cloudflare Data Loss Prevention (DLP) secures sensitive data in transit. Plus, our DLP is built into our broader Zero Trust platform, which verifies, filters, and isolates all traffic to provide holistic protection across your users, devices, applications, and the Internet.

Benefits of DLP

Securing data enables business agility

Reduce cyber risk

Prevent data exfiltration by insiders or external threats, whether unintentional or malicious. Secure sensitive info like Credit Card and U.S. Social Security Numbers.

Expand visibility

Expand visibility and control over movement of sensitive data across cloud environments and the Internet for remote and on-site users and devices

Strengthen compliance

Equip your teams with the logs and data controls they need to stay compliant with regulations, audits, and data governance best practices.

Cloudflare's DLP service

Inspect and control traffic after detecting sensitive data

Cloudflare DLP inspects HTTP/S traffic and files like Microsoft Office documents for the presence of sensitive data such as credit card information and social security numbers. After identifying the data you would like to protect, you can easily configure DLP profiles with allow or block policies to prevent information from leaving your corporate tenants.
