# DLP Policies
### Overview
To comply with business standards and industry regulations, organizations must protect sensitive information and prevent its inadvertent disclosure. Sensitive information can include financial data or personally identifiable information (PII) such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or health records. Using data loss prevention (DLP) policies in MangoApps, admins can identify, monitor, and alert to protect sensitive information.
With MangoApps Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, admins can identify, monitor, alert, and protect sensitive information in their domain.
With DLP policies, MangoApps allows organizations to:
* Identify sensitive information across all content types.
* Help employees learn how to stay compliant without interrupting their workflow.
* Alert domain and compliance Admins when any policy is violated on their dashboard.
* Get a full domain-wide view showing content that matches the organization’s DLP policies.
* Get started easily with pre-shipped patterns for PII and financial-related sensitive data.
* Have the power to create custom patterns for sensitive information and make them go live in minutes with no code and no IT support.
