DLP software integration

We connect and configure a DLP system (Data Loss Prevention) — third-party software for controlling and preventing the leakage of sensitive data: personal data, payment information, documents. To track and block unauthorized transfer of important data outside. Honestly upfront: DLP reduces the risk of leakage, but does NOT guarantee its absence; this is integration of PAID third-party software — its license/subscription is paid separately and on an ongoing basis, and the rules for 'what counts as sensitive' are largely set by you.

DLP software integration — overview

DLP software integration — price, timeline & scope

DLP software integration is the connection and configuration of a third-party DLP product to your infrastructure: we define which data is sensitive (personal, payment, trade secrets), set up detection and reaction rules (warning/block/logging), integrate with transfer channels (email, exports, API, file operations within what the chosen software covers). Honestly about the cost, this matters: DLP is PAID third-party software. Our work is integration and configuration, while the license/subscription of the DLP itself is paid SEPARATELY and, as a rule, on an ongoing basis (monthly/yearly). This must be budgeted for. Honestly about the effect: DLP REDUCES the risk of leakage and helps notice/stop it, but does NOT guarantee there will be no leak: an insider with access, non-standard channels and the human factor remain. Honestly about the rules: the quality of DLP strongly depends on how precisely 'what counts as sensitive' is described — this is largely your contribution (policies), we help formalize them. Honestly about side effects: false positives (blocking legitimate work) and friction for employees are possible — the setup seeks a balance. Honestly about law: DLP is a technical measure, NOT legal compliance with 152-FZ/GDPR (a lawyer is responsible for compliance). Honestly about access: access to the infrastructure and agreed policies are needed. An important boundary: this is DLP software integration, while a code/vulnerability audit is separate. Picture this: instead of 'sensitive data can leak unnoticed' — the system tracks and blocks suspicious transfers. The base integration price starts from 25,000 ₽ (excluding the DLP license cost); it depends on the product and the number of channels.

Problems we solve

  • Sensitive data can leak outside unnoticed.
  • No control over transfer of personal/payment data.
  • It is unclear what counts as sensitive and where it travels.
  • No reaction to suspicious exports and forwarding.

FAQ

  • Does DLP guarantee data won't leak?

    No, that cannot be promised. DLP substantially reduces the risk and helps notice/stop a leak, but does not fully exclude it: an insider with legitimate access, non-standard channels and the human factor remain. It is a strong risk-reduction measure, not a guarantee.

  • Is the DLP cost included in the integration price?

    No. Our price is for integration and configuration. The DLP itself is paid third-party software, its license/subscription is paid separately and usually on an ongoing basis (monthly/yearly). Honestly budget for this — we will help pick a product for your tasks and money.

  • Will this cover 152-FZ/GDPR requirements?

    DLP is a technical measure that helps with data protection, but legal compliance with 152-FZ/GDPR is a separate area of responsibility (a lawyer, regulations, consents). Honestly: we do the technical part, while a lawyer is responsible for compliance as such.
