Today, sensitive data is everywhere — in the cloud, on endpoints, in databases, in email, and flowing across your network at all times. The challenge isn't just stopping data from leaving; it's knowing where your data is, who can see it, and whether it's protected correctly.
Forcepoint solves this with two integrated solutions. Forcepoint DLP protects data in motion — blocking unauthorized exfiltration across every egress channel. Forcepoint DSPM protects data at rest — discovering, classifying, and remediating sensitive data across your entire cloud and on-premises estate. Together, they deliver complete data security with no blind spots.
Forcepoint DLP — Data Loss Prevention
Forcepoint DLP is the industry's most comprehensive solution for preventing sensitive data from leaving your organization. It enforces a single, unified policy across every egress channel — endpoint, web, email, cloud, and network — from one management console.
Core DLP capabilities
Data Discovery
Identifies and locates sensitive data wherever it resides — across endpoints, file shares, databases, and cloud applications — before it can be exposed.
Data Classification
An AI-powered engine labels structured and unstructured data by sensitivity and compliance need, using 1,700+ pre-built classifiers covering 90 countries and 160+ regions.
Patented Fingerprinting
Identifies sensitive information in complex formats and custom documents — even when data has been copied, reformatted, or embedded in other file types.
Endpoint DLP
Prevents data loss via removable storage (USB), printing, browser uploads, email clients, messaging apps, and file sharing — enforced by an endpoint agent.
Web Channel Control
Monitors and blocks sensitive data sent over HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP — including encrypted web traffic — in real time.
Email DLP
Agentless control over outbound email — the #1 vector for data theft. Works with Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, and other major mail systems without agents.
Cloud DLP
Protects data flowing through SaaS apps and cloud storage via CASB integration, cloud API, and cloud proxy — covering Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and more.
Network DLP
Monitors and enforces policy on data traversing the corporate network — including traffic to printers, network shares, and other internal destinations.
Risk-Adaptive Protection
Contextualizes user behavior to dynamically adjust enforcement — tightening controls for users showing elevated risk without impacting everyone else.
Single Policy Engine
Every channel is enforced from one policy — no separate consoles for endpoint, web, email, or cloud. A change made once applies everywhere immediately.
Forcepoint DSPM — Data Security Posture Management
Forcepoint DSPM answers the questions every security team struggles with: Where is our sensitive data? Who has access to it? Is it correctly protected? It uses AI Mesh — a proprietary architecture combining small language models and deep neural networks — to discover, classify, and remediate data security risks at scale.
Core DSPM capabilities
AI Mesh Discovery
Small Language Models and deep neural networks scan your data estate — understanding semantic meaning, intent, and context, not just patterns. Up to 1 million files per day.
Multi-Source Coverage
Scans SaaS (Microsoft 365, Google Drive), IaaS (AWS, Azure, GCP), on-premises databases, data lakes, file shares, NAS, and collaboration platforms from one platform.
Structured & Unstructured
Sees beyond files into enterprise databases and data lakes — covering both structured (databases, tables) and unstructured (documents, emails, images) data.
Risk Identification
Surfaces overshared files, misaligned permissions, data-sovereignty violations, shadow data stores, and Redundant, Obsolete, or Trivial (ROT) data.
Automated Remediation
Built-in playbooks remove public links, restrict overshared content, correct permissions, move or quarantine files, and notify data owners — automatically.
Improving Accuracy
Because AI Mesh can be trained on customer-specific examples, classification accuracy improves over time while false positives keep declining.
DLP Integration
Connects with Forcepoint DLP (data-in-motion) and Forcepoint DDR (data-in-use) — completing the full data security lifecycle.
Compliance Alignment
Maps discovered risks to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOX, and generates remediation recommendations per regulatory requirement.
Use cases
Regulatory compliance
Automatically discover regulated data (GDPR / HIPAA / PCI DSS), enforce access controls, and generate audit-ready reports — without manual data-mapping exercises.
Insider threats & accidental leaks
Risk-Adaptive Protection adjusts policy for users exhibiting risky behavior — stopping data theft before it happens, not after.
Cloud migration & shadow IT
Discover sensitive data that has migrated to unsanctioned cloud services and ensure it is classified, governed, and protected before a breach occurs.
AI & GenAI data governance
Control what sensitive data employees paste into AI tools like ChatGPT — with Forcepoint's native OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise integration.
M&A due diligence
Rapidly scan an acquired company's data estate to identify sensitive, regulated, or overexposed data — reducing M&A risk before integration.
Intellectual property protection
Block exfiltration of trade secrets, source code, and proprietary documents via email, USB, cloud uploads, or web — even in encrypted traffic.
Compliance coverage
Forcepoint DLP and DSPM ship with the broadest compliance library of any data security platform — 1,700+ classifiers for regulations across 90 countries and 160+ regions. Key frameworks include:
Why Forcepoint DLP & DSPM?
Single policy, all channels
One policy engine covers every egress channel — no fragmented tools, no coverage gaps.
1,700+ built-in classifiers
Deploy in hours, not months — with pre-built templates for every major regulation and industry.
AI-native classification
AI Mesh understands context and intent — not just patterns. Fewer false positives, higher accuracy over time.
DLP + DSPM in one platform
Protect data at rest and in motion from a unified platform — no separate partner, no separate console.
Automated remediation
Custom playbooks fix data exposure automatically — reducing manual workload and mean time to remediation.
