Endpoint DLP Approval Workflow

Controlled handling of sensitive files with user messaging and temporary approvals.

Challenge

Sensitive files needed to be controlled across endpoints, but legitimate business exceptions had to remain possible without disabling the policy entirely.

Solution model

DLP rules were designed around keywords, file types, folders and destinations. Matching actions created approval requests with device, user, file and rule context. Authorized users could approve or reject requests and define temporary access windows.

Operational outcome

The process created a traceable exception workflow while keeping the default data protection policy active.
