    Data Loss Prevention On Demand

    Data Loss Prevention On Demand Overview

    Netskope DLP On Demand enables local and collocated document scanning via a REST API. It is available in two deployment models:

    • DLP On Demand Public Cloud — a Netskope-hosted, fully managed service delivered as a REST API, with nothing for you to deploy or maintain.
    • DLP On Demand Appliance — a customer-managed appliance deployed across public cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) or on-premises (VMware vSphere, Hyper-V).

    DLP On Demand supports both Synchronous and Asynchronous API calls.

    The APIs support two types of content scans: unstructured and structured.

    • Unstructured – This category includes common business documents, emails, photos, and webpages. Examples include Microsoft Office files and PDFs. Text from LLM prompts or messages from collaboration tools such as Slack or Microsoft Teams can also be submitted for DLP inspection.
      Supported formats for these documents can be found here:
      • Supported File Types for Detection
      • Supported File Types for Content Inspection
    • Structured – This category refers to columnar or tabular data, such as exports from SQL databases, that are submitted in a specified format for classification purposes.
