Why organizations engage us

Security controls create value when they are designed, implemented and operated as one system

CHALLENGE 01

DLP starts with technology instead of data

Policies become noisy when sensitive information types and business processes are not understood first.

CHALLENGE 02

Broad blocking disrupts work

Overly aggressive policies can interfere with legitimate collaboration and drive users to workarounds.

CHALLENGE 03

Endpoint and cloud policies diverge

Data controls need consistent intent across Microsoft 365 services and managed endpoints.

CHALLENGE 04

Alerts lack a process

DLP events require investigation ownership, severity logic, exception handling and documented closure.

Buyer FAQ

Questions organizations typically ask

Can you configure DLP for Microsoft 365 and endpoints?

Yes. Scope can include Microsoft 365 DLP and Endpoint DLP, depending on available licensing, device management and technical prerequisites.

Should DLP start in blocking mode?

Usually not for broad new policies. Testing or audit-oriented modes help identify business impact before stronger enforcement is applied.

Can users override a DLP policy?

Where appropriate, policies can be designed with notifications, justification and controlled override behavior. The design should match the data risk and business process.

Can Purview support compliance evidence?

Yes. Policy configuration, testing outcomes, alerts and documented implementation decisions can support broader compliance evidence when mapped to the relevant requirement.

Can you use a trial for an assessment or evidence project?

Where Microsoft makes an eligible trial available to the customer, EAKA IT can scope an implementation around the capabilities actually enabled in that tenant. Trial availability and terms should be confirmed at the time of engagement.
