Get started with DLP

Safeguarding sensitive content is critical to maintain regulatory compliance, preserve customer trust, and protect your organization from costly data breaches. Using data loss prevention (DLP), you can apply data protection rules to control the sensitive content that users can share outside of your organization. For example, you can block sharing of proprietary information, warn users when they are about to share personally identifiable information, or audit the usage of sensitive content.

	Control how users share sensitive information Prevent data leaks from Google Drive files. Manage sensitive email message content in Gmail. Block users from sharing a project code or personal information in Google Chat messages. Warn users not to share sensitive data in Google Calendar events. Monitor user actions on Chrome browser with DLP for Chrome. Control limited data categories in Drive and Gmail using Security advisor.
	Use Workspace with Gemini as a collaborative partner Restrict access to sensitive content and reduce security risks with DLP for Gemini. Check the sources that Gemini accesses to create steps in Google Workspace Studio flows.
	Get information & reports about usage of sensitive data Use DLP snippets to view content that triggers data protection rules. Examine patterns of sensitive content usage in Data Protection Insights reports. Prevent data leaks with recommended rules. View alert details in the alert center. Get an overview of security reports in the security dashboard.
	Combine DLP with Context-Aware Access Enforce rules only when certain context conditions are met.
