Controls intended to detect and prevent unauthorized disclosure or transfer of sensitive information.

QUICK DEFINITION

Data Loss Prevention — Controls intended to detect and prevent unauthorized disclosure or transfer of sensitive information.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Data Loss Prevention matters in finance

Financial institutions hold valuable customer, transaction and operational data across many channels.

FINANCIAL SYSTEM CONTEXT

Security is also a market-infrastructure question

In financial services, data loss prevention should be understood in relation to operational continuity, data integrity, payments, market infrastructure and interconnected dependencies. A control can be technically effective while still leaving material resilience risk if critical services cannot continue or recover during disruption.
