DLP Setup Guide

Deploying DLP for AI in your organization

Every feature designed to help your team work smarter with AI.

Install the extension

Deploy TeamPrompt's browser extension to your team. It adds DLP scanning to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and all supported AI tools.

Configure detection rules

Enable built-in detectors for SSNs, credit cards, API keys, and credentials. Add custom patterns for your industry.

Set enforcement mode

Choose whether to block prompts containing sensitive data, warn users and let them decide, or log for monitoring only.

Add custom patterns

Define detection patterns for organization-specific data like employee IDs, patient numbers, or internal project codes.

Roll out to teams

Deploy in phases — start with high-risk teams, then expand to the full organization with learnings from early deployment.

Monitor and tune

Review DLP reports, adjust rules to reduce false positives, and add patterns as new data types are identified.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does DLP setup take?

Basic setup takes about five minutes — install the extension, enable built-in detectors, and choose enforcement mode. Custom patterns and organization-wide rollout may take longer.

Will DLP scanning slow down AI usage?

No. Scanning happens in milliseconds before the prompt is sent. Users experience no noticeable delay in their workflow.

How do I handle false positives?

Review DLP reports and tune detection rules. Some patterns may need threshold adjustments. Consider using warn mode instead of block mode for patterns with higher false positive rates.
