From data fingerprinting to machine learning, Symantec DLP accurately finds sensitive data in whatever guise it takes

Symantec DLP utilizes a combination of advanced technologies to accurately detect confidential data —whether it's at rest or in motion – and includes a variety of out-of-the-box policies (HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, etc.) to help enable compliance with lower effort.

Vector Machine Learning (VML) learns and identifies intellectual property and other unstructured data that may difficult to describe such as financial documents, source code, etc.
Sensitive Image Recognition (SIR) detects sensitive data embedded in forms and other images (scanned documents, screenshots and pictures) with built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Exact Data Matching (EDM) identifies sensitive data by fingerprinting structured databases, e.g., "any customer name and their bank account number"
Indexed Document Matching (IDM) applies fingerprinting to documents to detect sensitive content that may be partially reused elsewhere, e.g., in an email message
Described Content Matching (DCM) looks for matches on regular expressions or patterns such as Social Security Number and credit card
Data Classification – identifies files tagged as sensitive by users via Symantec Information Centric Tagging (ICT)
