Cloudflare Data Loss Prevention
Unified, consistent data loss prevention (DLP)
Protect sensitive data across web, SaaS, email, and cloud traffic. Identify confidential information, enforce security policies, and log everything to prevent data leaks and support regulatory compliance.
Benefits of Data Loss Prevention
Secure GenAI usage
Analyze GenAI prompts and responses for content and intent, then block suspicious behavior to govern workforce AI usage and protect data.
Unify policy management
Configure DLP profiles, detection entries, and Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels to consolidate protections across outbound traffic, documents, PDFs, and images.
Simplify SaaS and cloud security
Scan SaaS apps and cloud environments to identify sensitive data at rest. Implement targeted remediation steps to reduce data exfiltration risks.
Reduce manual detection reviews
Give feedback per detection to train AI context analysis and improve detection accuracy. DLP adapts to your specific data patterns and traffic to reduce false positives.
HOW IT WORKS
Protect sensitive data across your environment
Cloudflare DLP provides a wide, flexible set of predefined and custom detection options to tailor security policies to your organization’s data patterns. Scan for matches across your web, SaaS, email, and cloud traffic.
Built on Cloudflare’s developer platform, our DLP engine employs advanced algorithms that ensure high-performance detections — even for compute-intensive workloads like AI context analysis or AI prompt protection.
