A Survey on Balancing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) with User Privacy in a Data-Driven World

Abstract

Nowadays, data breaches are a major concern for industries and governments, Data Loss
Prevention (DLP) solutions have become essential tools to protect sensitive information and
uphold data integrity. This study examines the ever-changing field of DLP methods, highlighting
the importance of maintaining a balance between protecting data and respecting user privacy in
the midst of widespread data circulation. The study discusses the difficult obstacles organizations
encounter when merging DLP with privacy protection through analyzing real-life examples,
research findings, laws, and technology developments. The results offer useful suggestions for
matching DLP projects with privacy principles to improve organizational ability to withstand data
breaches while also protecting individual privacy in a connected digital environment.
