ShareFile

Data loss prevention

ShareFile integrates with third-party Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems to identify files that contain sensitive information. To limit access and sharing of items based their content, enable DLP scanning on your StorageZone Controller and then configure the settings on this page.

Enable the Limit access to files based on their content setting if you have one or more private StorageZones configured to use a third-party DLP system to scan and classify documents. With this setting enabled, sharing and access filters are applied to documents based on the results of the DLP scan. Use the settings on this page to define the sharing and access filters for each classification.

To access Data loss prevention:

  1. From the ShareFile dashboard, navigate to Account Settings.
  2. Select Security > Data loss prevention.

Allowed Actions

  • Unscanned documents - Allow these actions for documents that your DLP system has not scanned. This includes all documents stored in ShareFile-managed storage zones or other storage zones where DLP isn’t enabled.
  • Scanned: OK - Allow these actions for documents that your DLP system accepted.
  • Scanned: Rejected - Allow these actions for documents that your DLP system rejected because they contain sensitive data.
