Assessing the status of data protection

The status of data protection has to be assessed constantly in order to maintain the proper level of data security on SharePoint websites. Information about data protection is refreshed in real time in the Data Leak Prevention node.

The status of data protection can be assessed using the following criteria:

• Status of the DLP Module, errors in the operation of the Module;

  If the DLP Module operates with errors, this decreases the level of protection. If the DLP Module is disabled, the application does not scan files that are uploaded by users to SharePoint.

• Statistics on opened incidents;

  This information helps to evaluate the volume of incidents processed so far and plan further incident processing.

• Statistics on closed incidents;

  This information helps to analyze the reasons why incidents have been closed. Analysis results help to detect weak spots in computer protection and modify policy settings accordingly.

• Statistics on files uploaded to SharePoint.

  This information helps to monitor and evaluate application performance.

You can configure automatic delivery of notifications about changes in the protection status to email addresses.
