Preparing the DLP Module

The DLP (Data Leak Prevention) Module is a Kaspersky Security component designed to protect data against leaks. The component monitors file uploads by users to SharePoint in real time, checking the file contents for any confidential data. Settings of the DLP Module are configured by the Security Officer.

The Data Leak Prevention section is displayed in the Settings node if the DLP Module component has been installed on the SharePoint server. Data Leak Prevention is enabled by default.

Disabling the DLP Module can affect the workflow of the Security Officer.

To enable or disable DLP functionality:

1. Select and open in the Management Console tree the node corresponding to the necessary SharePoint server. Then select the Settings node.
2. In the Data Leak Prevention section, perform one of the following actions:
   • Select the Enable DLP Module check box if you want the application to monitor data leaks in real-time mode.
   • Clear the Enable DLP Module check box if you do not want the application to monitor data leaks in real-time mode.
3. If necessary, in the Allow running search tasks on the following servers list, select the check boxes next to servers on which the security officer will be able to run scan tasks to search SharePoint servers for confidential data.

   During a search task, the load on SharePoint servers increases.

4. To keep the changes, click the Save button in the upper part of the window.

Information about changes in the component operation is displayed in the Control Center node and in the root node of the Security Officer.
