Data Loss Prevention Services
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) refers to a set of technologies, processes, and policies designed to detect and prevent unauthorized access, sharing, or leakage of sensitive data. Whether through accidental mishandling, insider threats, or external breaches, data loss events can cause severe reputational damage and legal exposure—especially in regulated environments like Higher Education.
At NewPush, we provide DLP services that go beyond basic controls—empowering institutions to implement intelligent, context-aware data protection at scale.

Pain Points We Solve for IT Leaders in Higher Education
Shadow IT & Unsecured File Sharing
Faculty and staff often use unapproved tools to store or share data. We help monitor and restrict unauthorized data movement, even across unmanaged apps or personal devices.
Insider Threats & Accidental Exposure
Poor Visibility Into Cloud Data
As more data moves to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and SaaS platforms, IT teams lose oversight. We restore visibility and apply real-time policies to cloud-based systems.
Regulatory Compliance Violations
Inability to Prove Data Control
Leadership and compliance auditors need proof of your data governance practices. We provide the logs, policies, and insights necessary for executive reporting and risk assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Data Loss Prevention
What types of data can NewPush protect?
How does NewPush’s DLP approach differ from traditional antivirus or firewalls?
While antivirus and firewalls defend against external attacks, DLP focuses on preventing the unauthorized movement or exposure of data, whether from internal users or external breaches. It's proactive, context-aware, and essential for compliance-driven environments.
Can DLP help prevent data breaches caused by human error?
Yes. Many data leaks are accidental—such as sending a student roster to the wrong recipient or saving files in unsecured locations. Our DLP policies detect and intervene in real time to stop these actions before harm is done.
Is this solution compatible with our existing SIS or LMS?
Absolutely. We support integration with systems like Banner, Workday, Canvas, Blackboard, and other SIS/LMS tools. We also extend DLP protections into platforms like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
Does this service support remote staff and hybrid learning environments?
Yes. Our endpoint DLP tools protect faculty, staff, and students wherever they work—on-campus, remote, or hybrid—ensuring your security posture doesn't depend on physical proximity.
How is DLP aligned with FERPA and NIST 800-171 requirements?
Both FERPA and NIST require institutions to protect controlled or protected data. DLP provides the technical controls, audit logs, and enforcement mechanisms needed to demonstrate data confidentiality, integrity, and access control compliance.
What happens if a DLP policy is violated?
Violations can trigger a variety of automated actions—blocking, alerting, encryption, or quarantine—depending on the severity and sensitivity of the event. All incidents are logged for future reporting or investigation.
Will this increase the workload for my IT team?
No. Our team collaborates with yours to manage policy tuning, monitor events, and resolve incidents—removing operational noise rather than adding to it.
