You are the security manager of a small firm that has just purchased a DLP solution to implement in your cloud-based production environment. In order to get truly holistic coverage of your environment

Implementing a DLP solution often requires changes in user behavior and data handling practices, making signed user agreements essential for communicating policies, obtaining consent for monitoring, and setting expectations about how sensitive data should be managed and protected. This fosters a culture of compliance and reduces inadvertent data leaks.

While DLP can be installed on assets, a cloud-based DLP solution often integrates at the network, endpoint, or application level, not necessarily requiring installation on all underlying cloud data center assets, which are typically managed by the cloud provider.

Installing a DLP tool in all routers between users and the cloud provider is impractical and often outside the scope or capability of a cloud DLP deployment, which typically focuses on data in transit, at rest, or in use within the cloud environment.

Expecting all customers to install your DLP tool is unrealistic and beyond the scope of a firm's internal DLP deployment; DLP typically protects an organization's own data, not data residing on customer systems.
