Introduction

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a tool in ProjectPlace that provides an additional layer of data security for documents that are shared and downloaded. DLP keeps sensitive information private, and allows you to determine your own privacy settings. DLP Administrators have the option to create and publish a DLP policy to all workspaces, and edit or delete the policy once it is created.

Here are some important aspects of this feature:

1. A user who is given access to DLP from account administration can access the Data Loss Prevention tool from the tool selector.

2. These DLP Admins can add policies to control sharing and downloading of files.

3. Once added, these policies need to be associated with one or more projects.

4. Members of these projects can then assign these policies to documents of their choice.

5. Workspace administrators of these projects can additionally control group level access to the policies from workspace administration.

6. An audit log of all access to tagged documents can be downloaded from the Data Loss Prevention tool by DLP admins.

Access

Account admins and account owners can give DLP access to account members. This is different from other tools in that account admins and account owners do not have access to the tool by default.

Associate a Policy with a Workspace

You can assign projects/workspaces from the details pane of the policy in the DLP tool. This is done by the DLP Admin; the Project Manager won't have access to it.
