There are over 30 predefined DLP profiles available to use in a policy. These profiles are built from rules that incorporate standard combinations of data identifiers, and many are based on regulatory compliance standards. Predefined DLP profiles cannot be modified.
To view the predefined DLP profiles, go to Policies > Profiles > DLP in the Netskope UI.
Click on a profile to view the rules applied. For example, selecting the predefined profile, The Social Security Number Confidentiality Act 2000 shows the DLP rules that define this profile.
To use any of the predefined DLP profiles, simply select one when creating a policy.
