The Challenge
Safetica DLP case study | Sensitive data was increasingly shared through email, removable media, and cloud services.
Management needed better control, but users were resistant to strict blocking policies.
The Environment
- Office-based users with hybrid work
- Sensitive internal documents
- No existing DLP solution
- Strong focus on usability
The Approach
Safetica was introduced gradually, starting with visibility before enforcement.
User behavior was analyzed before defining restrictive policies.
What Didn’t Work at First
Early blocking rules caused friction and false positives.
Some policies were too generic and ignored real workflow needs.
Adjustments & Optimization
- Shift from blocking to behavioral monitoring
- Department-based policies
- Context-aware rules instead of blanket restrictions
- Continuous policy refinement
The Outcome
Data leakage risks were significantly reduced without impacting productivity.
Users accepted the controls because they were transparent and practical.
Key Takeaways
Successful DLP depends more on policy design and experience than on strict enforcement.
