Proofpoint Unveils Comprehensive Information Security Framework to Tackle Sophisticated Data Loss Prevention Obstacles
Framework inspired by NIST, presented by Proofpoint and authorized partners, leverages unparalleled expertise in developing and managing dynamic DLP implementations for 50% of the Fortune 100 companies
Proofpoint, Inc., a renowned cybersecurity and compliance firm, has introduced a unique and partner-friendly end-to-end information protection framework, granting organizations access to unmatched knowledge, industry-standard data, and effective methodology for crafting, deploying, and advancing data loss prevention (DLP) initiatives.
“Proofpoint’s exceptional expertise in this field is unparalleled, and we are thrilled to be one of their chosen certified partners to bring this established and reliable procedural method for data risk management to the market.”
While DLP initiatives and technologies are undoubtedly advancing, only 38% of businesses claim to possess a “mature” DLP program. Presently, organizations with intricate demands are seeking more comprehensive solutions that extend beyond traditional DLP strategies. So far, the industry has lacked a pragmatic framework to tackle the challenges of deploying a DLP program across a swiftly evolving, multi-channel data risk environment.

The fresh framework capitalizes on Proofpoint’s human-centered strategy towards information security, merged with over two decades of expertise in building and managing tailored DLP initiatives for some of the most security-conscious organizations globally. It also presents a CISO Visualization Workshop, a comprehensive, guided session for organizations striving to implement a superior DLP program. Proofpoint’s certified partners can employ the framework to assist clients in recognizing crucial maturity gaps, assessing performance against industry counterparts, and devising a strategy and timeline for prioritizing and addressing impacts based on Proofpoint’s analysis and recommendations.
