"I remember being a child and sitting at the piano for hours, it taught me perseverance. I've got experience with Data Protection and Data Governance tools (e.g., data discovery, data mapping data lineage, data loss prevention, database activity monitoring) I escalates events according to the Data Loss Prevention triage workflow process. I'm a Data Loss Prevention Analyst and perform Data Loss Prevention event analysis and response actions, I monitor our Cyber Security Data Loss Prevention tools for signs that confidential information is being improperly handled. And that's all I'm allowed to say."

Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical Data Loss Prevention Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step work plans and maturity diagnostics for any Data Loss Prevention related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Data Loss Prevention specific requirements:


STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...

  • The latest quick edition of the Data Loss Prevention Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.

Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…

  • Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation

Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 849 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Data Loss Prevention improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 849 standard requirements:

  1. You don’t want to be informed of a data loss incident from the users themselves or from the data protection authority. Do you have technology that can detect breaches that have taken place; forensics available to investigate how the data was lost (or changed); and can you go back in time with full user logs and identify the incident to understand its scope and impact?

  2. The goal of a disaster recovery plan is to minimize the costs resulting from losses of, or damages to, the resources or capabilities of your IT facilities. The success of any disaster recovery plan depends a great deal on being able to determine the risks associated with data loss. What is the impact to our business if the data is lost?

  3. Do you identify maximum allowable downtime for critical business functions, acceptable levels of data loss and backlogged transactions, RTOs, RPOs, recovery of the critical path (i.e., business processes or systems that should receive the highest priority), and the costs associated with downtime? Are the approved thresholds appropriate?

  4. Does the tool in use provide the ability for role-based administration for sub-administrators (e.g., administrators for a specific domain) to restrict access and visibility into system data and system changes (if applicable)?

  5. How is the complex digital supply chain -where multiple downstream providers provide services for each other and data residence and transmission points are increasingly obscure -being dealt with from an audit perspective?

  6. Does the tool in use provide the ability for administrators to access a graphical and table-based dashboard with click-through, drill-down detail (using percentage-based metrics, not definitive totals)?

  7. Does management recognize that there is an increased motivation for fraud and data crimes, concurrent with expectations on audit departments to recognize such activities despite reduced budgets?

  8. Does the tool in use have the ability to integrate with Active Directory or sync directory on a scheduled basis, or do look-ups within a multi-domain forest in the sub-100-millisecond range?

  9. Does the tool in use allow the ability to search for registered data (e.g., database data) or specific files by name, hash marks, or watermarks, and to detect partial-file-content matches?

  10. Are we doing adequate due diligence before contracting with third party providers -particularly in regards to involving audit departments prior to contractual commitments?

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy

The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage Data Loss Prevention projects with the 62 implementation resources:

  • 62 step-by-step Data Loss Prevention Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Data Loss Prevention project requirements and success criteria:

Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:

  1. Cost Management Plan: Has a provision been made to reassess Data Loss Prevention project risks at various Data Loss Prevention project stages?

  2. Earned Value Status: Verification is a process of ensuring that the developed system satisfies the stakeholders agreements and specifications; Are you building the product right? What do you verify?

  3. Activity Duration Estimates: How difficult will it be to do specific activities on this Data Loss Prevention project?

  4. Probability and Impact Assessment: When and how will the recent breakthroughs in basic research lead to commercial products?

  5. Quality Audit: How does the organization know that its staff placements are appropriately effective and constructive in relation to program-related learning outcomes?

  6. Variance Analysis: Are overhead costs budgets established on a basis consistent with the anticipated direct business base?

  7. Roles and Responsibilities: Are our policies supportive of a culture of quality data?

  8. Procurement Management Plan: Has a Quality Assurance Plan been developed for the Data Loss Prevention project?

  9. Activity Duration Estimates: What is the difference between conceptual, application, and evaluative questions?

  10. Project Performance Report: To what degree are the structures of the formal organization consistent with the behaviors in the informal organization?
