    Hello,

     

    If you have in place a policy which states this document is confidential, the same can be copied to removable storage withtout problems, though a log (incident) will be created in DLP console. What you can do is create a response rule allocated to this policy to block the action of transfer documents do external drives. In other words, file won't be encrypted, but you can block the action.

    1. Policy is created with detection rules which are established to tell DLP what is confidential/sensitive and what is not (e.g type of documents, keywords, ...)

    2. You create a response rule for this policy: a response rule basically is triggered when number 1. occurs and is pre configured to allow/block/notify actions. For instance, you can say DLP that everytime it find this document leaving the company to a removable storage the action will be blocked and if the print action is attempted the end-user gets an alert information the document has confidential data but he can continue with the actions.

    You should have a look at the admin guide.

    Symantec DLP won't encrypt the file.. DLP will just block or allow an action based on your pre-configured rules.

    It's well described on admin guide
