Complete 5-phase roadmap to implement enterprise Data Loss Prevention
This comprehensive guide walks you through implementing a complete Data Loss Prevention solution aligned with Sri Lanka's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA No. 9 of 2022).
The implementation is divided into 5 sequential phases, each building upon the previous one to ensure a smooth, effective deployment.
Establish project foundation by securing stakeholder buy-in, assessing current state, conducting PDPA gap analysis, and creating detailed implementation roadmap.
Deploy data discovery tools to identify and classify sensitive information across your organization, including Sri Lankan personal data patterns (NIC, passport, bank details).
Develop comprehensive DLP policies, configure detection rules, establish incident response procedures, and create user training programs aligned with PDPA requirements.
Deploy DLP solution to pilot group, tune detection accuracy, gather feedback, refine policies, and gradually roll out to entire organization.
Establish ongoing monitoring, incident response, compliance reporting, regular audits, and continuous improvement processes to maintain effective data protection.
