Common Questions

DLP & Fortinet FAQ

What is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)?

DLP is a set of tools and processes that detect and prevent unauthorised transmission of sensitive data outside your organisation. It monitors data in use (endpoints), data in motion (network), and data at rest (storage), applying policies to block or alert on policy violations.

Do I need both Next DLP and Fortinet, or just one?

Many organisations use both — Next DLP for endpoint/SaaS/user behaviour visibility, and Fortinet for network-level control and NGFW capabilities. CommuniCloud assesses your specific risk profile and recommends the right combination. Some organisations start with one and add the other as their program matures.

Will DLP block legitimate work?

A well-tuned DLP deployment has very low false positive rates. We spend significant time during deployment learning your business's normal data patterns before enabling enforcement mode. Initially we run in observe/alert mode so you understand what's happening before any blocking occurs.

Can DLP help with insider threats?

Yes. This is one of DLP's most valuable use cases. Next DLP's behavioural analytics identifies unusual patterns — large file downloads before resignation, sending data to personal email, excessive printing — providing early warning of malicious or negligent insiders.

How does DLP support compliance?

DLP directly supports compliance with the Australian Privacy Act (protecting personal information), PCI DSS (cardholder data), HIPAA (health information), and ISO 27001 controls. We configure policies mapped to your specific compliance requirements and provide compliance reports.

How long does DLP deployment take?

Initial deployment typically takes 4–8 weeks — agent rollout, policy configuration, and the observe period before enforcement. Full policy refinement continues for 3–6 months as the system learns your environment. CommuniCloud manages the entire process.

What is a next-generation firewall and how does it differ from a standard firewall?

A next-generation firewall (NGFW) like Fortinet FortiGate goes far beyond port/protocol filtering. It provides application identification, user identity awareness, SSL inspection, intrusion prevention, and anti-malware — all in a single appliance or cloud instance. It understands what's actually in traffic, not just where it's going.

Do you support Fortinet's SD-WAN capabilities?

Yes. CommuniCloud deploys Fortinet Secure SD-WAN alongside DLP capabilities — combining network performance optimisation with security in a single platform. This is particularly valuable for organisations with multiple offices that need cost-effective WAN with enterprise security.
