SENSITIVE DATA IN CLOUD APPS
Percent of total files with a DLP violation
Note that a policy violation requires that a policy be both set and violated, so a high
number of violations isn’t necessarily an indicator that lots of sensitive data are present
in the app, and a low number the opposite. A high number of violations may indicate
proactive policy-setting, whereas a low one may indicate that the organization isn’t
setting the right kinds of policies to find sensitive data.

quick wins FOR

Based on this report’s findings, here are some quick wins
for enterprise IT to enable cloud apps while minimizing risk:
Discover and secure sensitive content both at rest in and en route to
your cloud apps. Focus on the violations that carry penalties and can
result in negative press, including PHI, PII, and PCI.
In defining cloud app policies, consider not just popular cloud storage,
social, and webmail apps, but also focus on business-critical apps like
HR, finance/accounting, and business intelligence.
Go beyond coarse-grained “allow” or “block” decisions on cloud apps,
and enforce contextual policies on risky activities such as “download”
(e.g., to mobile), “share” (e.g., outside of the company), or “delete” (e.g.,
if you’re not in the enterprise directory group “HR Directors”).
