6 Steps to Protect Google Drive with Data Loss Prevention
Create a winning pitch to sell your team why DLP matters to your org
If you’re used to working on a nimble team or as a team of one, vetting and implementing solutions on your own requires a lot of steps. In your due diligence, you sit in on demos, you read the help center, and toward the end, you select a vendor of choice. But there’s one more step. You still have to get approval and budget from your stakeholders. And that task is rarely a solo act.
Whether you’re a seasoned security professional or someone who’s unfamiliar with the risks of data loss in Google Drive, your team is likely working on many competing priorities. Risks associated with not protecting sensitive data in cloud storage platforms like Google Drive should be on the list. This guide aims to illustrate the potential data protection gaps in a deployment of Google Drive to your team and stakeholders and how to approach solving this data security gap in six steps.
Read the full guide from Nightfall that includes an e-book version with nice graphics as well.
I wrote this from many real-life experiences working in both the non-profit and startup worlds: making the business case for adding a new piece of technology to my org’s tech stack. The good managers in my career required due diligence and a strong pitch before saying yes to any new software implementation. I took the learnings from my many attempts and created this guide to create value for Nightfall prospects seeking to add DLP to their cloud platforms.
I’m also quite proud of the e-book version because I did the design almost all by myself. I started with a template from our design lead and took over the project from there, working in Figma to include the content I wrote and stock images I selected to fit with Nightfall brand identity and tone of voice. Graphic design is NOT my passion, so I make it my business to put together something decent with an assist from people who know more than I do on that front. Good content managers know their strengths. Great content managers know how to work past their weaknesses and get the job done.
