# Data Loss Prevention

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) detects and prevents unauthorized sharing or retrieval of confidential information, such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, and bank account numbers.

DLP enforces policies by associating data types with specific rules. It supports both file upload and file download, inspecting web-based transfers to prevent exposure of sensitive data.

## Use Case

You are a financial organization aiming to prevent the upload or download of files containing confidential and sensitive data, such as bank account numbers, tax and revenue details, by unauthorized users.

## Actions in DLP Rules

You can configure these actions within DLP rules:

- **Detect**- Performs the DLP scan and detects the confidential information, but does not block the data.
- **Prevent**- Performs the DLP scan and prevents data transfer if it finds a match to a data type.

## Known Limitations

- DLP applies only to files being uploaded or downloaded over a browser.
- Traffic to or from native applications (EXE-based clients) is not supported.
- The system must inspect the traffic (and not bypass it in the HTTPS inspection policy) for DLP to take place.
- DLP does not inspect Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels on files inside archive files (.zip, .rar, .7z, and similar). Sensitivity-label-based rules apply only when labeled files are uploaded or downloaded directly.

## Operations

### File upload

- DLP inspection is supported for files up to 16 MB.
- Supports Agent version 11.7 and higher.
- File type supported - see [sk181662](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk181662).

### File Download

Note:The File Download feature is available only in Early Availability (EA) and appears in the UI only for EA tenants.

- DLP inspection is supported for files up to 10 MB.
- Supports Agent version 12.3 and higher.
- When Transfer Type is selected as File Download, at least one Service must be selected.  
Encrypted files or files larger than the maximum size limit are not inspected, and a **Skip** log entry is recorded.

## Creating a Custom Data Type

To create a custom data type:

### 

1. Sign in to the [Check Point Infinity Portal](https://portal.checkpoint.com/) and access the Check Point SASE Administrator Portal.
2. Click **Data Loss Prevention**.
3. Click the **Data Type Manager** tab.
4. Click **New** and select **Data type**.  
The **Add data type** wizard appears.  
![](https://cdn.document360.io/44667c0c-50d7-412a-acbd-20d4a41c952e/Images/Documentation/image-1758171787113.png)
5. Enter the data type name, object comment (optional) and description.
6. From the Data type recognition method list, select a recognition method:  

| Recognition Method | Description | Action |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pattern | Applies the action specified in the policy capability rule if the file contents match the threshold for the pattern. For example: - Matches a sequence -**5523-2342** - Employee numbers that have an EMP prefix, followed by 5 digits - **EMP-\d{5}** Where, **EMP-** is the fixed prefix for all employee IDs, and **\d{5}**is exactly 5 digits (**\d** represents a digit, and **{5}**indicates that it must be exactly 5 digits long) - Match example: **EMP-12345** | In the Patterns section, enter the pattern and click![](https://cdn.document360.io/44667c0c-50d7-412a-acbd-20d4a41c952e/Images/Documentation/image-1758170819362.png). |
| Keyword | Applies the action specified in the policy capability rule if the file contents match the threshold for the keyword. For example, Confidential, Secret. | In the Keywords section, enter the keywords and click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/44667c0c-50d7-412a-acbd-20d4a41c952e/Images/Documentation/image-1758170819362.png). |
| Dictionary | Applies the action specified in the policy capability rule if the file contents match the threshold for the terms in the dictionary. For example, Spain, China, United Kingdom. Each keyword must be specified in a single line in the UTF-8 format. Note - The recommended file formats are .docx, .doc, and .txt. | Upload the dictionary file. |
| Weighted Words | Applies the action specified in the policy capability rule if the file contains keywords and the cumulative weight matches or exceeds the threshold. Use this method to specify multiple keywords. For example, consider two keywords: - **credit**with **Weight**=1 and **Max**. **Weight**=3 - **transaction**with **Weight**=2 and **Max. Weight**=30 and **Matching Threshold**=15. If the file contains six occurrences of **credit**, each contributing a **Weight**of 1. That is, 1x6=6. As the **Max. Weight**=3, the final weight is 3. If the file contains eight occurrences of **transaction**, each contributing a **Weight**of 2. That is, 2x8=16. As the **Max. Weight**=30, the final weight is 16. As the sum of final weights of **credit**and **transaction**, that is, 16+3=19 is greater than the **Matching Threshold**, the system applies the specified action in the policy capability rule. If the sum of the final weights of the keywords is less than the **Matching Threshold**, then the file is uploaded or downloaded. | 1. Click **New**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/44667c0c-50d7-412a-acbd-20d4a41c952e/Images/Documentation/image-1758171598023.png) 2. Enter these: - **Keyword** - **Weight** - Weight for each occurrence of the keyword. - **Max. Weight** - Maximum allowed weight for the keyword. 3. If the keyword is a regular expression, turn on the **Regex**toggle button. 4. Click **Add**. 5. Repeat steps *a* through *d* to add the next keyword. |
| Template | Applies the action specified in the policy capability rule if the file contents match the threshold for the terms in the template. For example, a template with a set header, footer and logo. If the template contains images, the DLP is triggered only if the file contains the images in the same format as in the specified template. | Upload the template file. |
| File attribute | Applies the action specified in the policy capability rule if the file: - Matches the specified file name. - Size is equal to or greater than the specified file size. - Type matches the specified file type. | Select any of these and enter a value: - **File name**: For example, Account Numbers, Employee Details. - **File size:** File size in Byte, KB, MB or GB. - **File type**: - Click![](https://cdn.document360.io/44667c0c-50d7-412a-acbd-20d4a41c952e/Images/Documentation/image-1758170819362.png)and select the file type(s) from the list. |
7. Click **Next**.Note - This step does not apply to **Template** and**File attribute** recognition methods.
8. Select the matching threshold.  
The minimum number of times the matching criteria must be present in the file to trigger the DLP. For example, if the matching criteria is Keyword, the value is credit and the Matching Threshold is 5, then the system takes the action specified by the policy capability rule if the file contain the term credit five times or more.Note - This step does not apply to **Template** and **File attribute** recognition methods.

## Managing Microsoft Sensitivity Labels for DLP

Check Point SASE allows you to integrate Sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview Information Protection into your DLP system, providing an additional layer of data protection based on predefined sensitivity classifications.

### Step 1 - Copy the Microsoft Sensitivity label names and their UUIDs from Microsoft Purview

**Finding the UUID of labels in the Old Microsoft Purview portal**

Once authenticated, the session connects to the Microsoft Purview Security & Compliance Center.  
Now, you can run Microsoft Purview Security & Compliance PowerShell commands, such as managing labels, policies, or settings.
3. To view the UUID of the labels, run:ActionScriptActionScript 

```actionscript
Get-Label | Select-Object DisplayName, Name, Guid

### Step 3 - Assign Sensitivity Labels to DLP Rules

After creating Sensitivity labels in Check Point SASE, you must assign them to the DLP rules to enforce data protection based on these sensitivity labels.

To assign sensitivity labels to a DLP rule, see [Creating a DLP Rule](/v1/docs/data-loss-prevention-1#creating-a-dlp-rule).

### DLP Logs

- Logs are sent for **Prevent**and **Detect**.
- **File upload**and**File Download******event generates a log for each handled file, regardless of whether the event is prevented, or detected.
