What does DESSS deliver for Data Loss Prevention

DESSS delivers Data Loss Prevention on Microsoft Purview Data Security through the data loss prevention implementation: data discovery; classification workshops; labelling and protection build; audit-mode policies; staged enforcement; monitoring and review. Each step closes with named deliverables you sign off before the next begins.

THE WORKFLOW

6 steps, start to finish

Every engagement follows a documented sequence, so you always know which stage the work is in and what closes it.

  • Data discovery — Weeks 1–3
  • Classification workshops — Weeks 3–5
  • Labelling and protection build — Weeks 5–8
  • Audit-mode policies — Weeks 8–11
  • Staged enforcement — Weeks 11–14
  • Monitoring and review — Ongoing
WHAT YOU GET

Named deliverables, signed off

Each step closes with deliverables you review and approve before the next one begins — progress you can audit rather than a status colour on a slide.

  • Discovery report
  • Data location map
  • Risk hotspots
  • Label taxonomy
  • Handling rules
  • Owner agreement
  • Configured labels
  • Auto-labelling rules
  • Scenario tests
  • Audit findings
HOW WE DELIVER

Inside the Data Loss Prevention workflow

Classification decided with the business, then enforced gradually — audit first, block later.

Step 01
Weeks 1–3

Data discovery

Content scanning across collaboration, endpoint and cloud storage shows where regulated and confidential data actually lives, which is rarely where the policy assumes.

Deliverables:

  • Discovery report
  • Data location map
  • Risk hotspots
Step 04
Weeks 8–11

Audit-mode policies

Loss-prevention policies run in audit mode across Microsoft Purview Data Security so the true volume of matches and false positives is known before anyone's work is interrupted.

Deliverables:

  • Audit findings
  • False positive analysis
  • Policy tuning
Step 02
Weeks 3–5

Classification workshops

Label taxonomy and handling rules are defined with legal, compliance and the business units that own the data, because a taxonomy invented by IT alone gets worked around within a month.

Deliverables:

  • Label taxonomy
  • Handling rules
  • Owner agreement
Step 05
Weeks 11–14

Staged enforcement

Enforcement starts with the highest-risk data movements and expands, with user notification messages written to explain rather than accuse.

Deliverables:

  • Enforcement plan
  • User messaging
  • Incident workflow
Step 03
Weeks 5–8

Labelling and protection build

Labels, auto-labelling conditions, encryption and access rules are implemented in Data Loss Prevention, with co-authoring and external sharing scenarios tested before rollout.

Deliverables:

  • Configured labels
  • Auto-labelling rules
  • Scenario tests
Step 06
Ongoing

Monitoring and review

Match volumes, user overrides and incident outcomes are reviewed monthly, and policies that generate noise without risk reduction are changed rather than tolerated.

Deliverables:

  • Monthly review
  • Override analysis
  • Policy changes

COMMON QUESTIONS

About Data Loss Prevention

A typical DESSS Data Loss Prevention delivery runs 6 steps, with the final step reached around ongoing. Complex integrations, multi-entity scope, or regulated environments extend that — the discovery session produces a dated plan for your case rather than an average.

Every step closes with named deliverables — Audit findings, Auto-labelling rules, Configured labels, Data location map, Discovery report, Enforcement plan, False positive analysis, Handling rules — so progress is visible, auditable, and reviewable rather than a status colour on a slide.

Yes. Integration with the systems your data loss prevention depends on is designed early and delivered with validation, monitoring, and error handling, so failures are visible and recoverable.

No. Data Loss Prevention is often delivered alongside the other Microsoft Purview Data Security products listed below, in a phased roadmap that avoids rebuilding earlier phases. DESSS sequences them so each phase stands on its own.
