Endpoint Data Protection & DLP Policy Governance
KVKK-Aware Sensitive Data Protection and Endpoint Hardening via ManageEngine Endpoint Central DLP
Configuration of sensitive data filters (TCKN, financial data, confidential documents) and peripheral interface controls using ManageEngine Endpoint Central DLP at ASSERSAN to prevent unauthorized endpoint exfiltration.
Verified Technical Scope
Configuration of rule sets for TCKN, financial records, and sensitive corporate data filtering
Control of USB storage devices, peripheral interfaces, and data exfiltration vectors
Management of departmental exception groups aligned with legitimate operational workflows
Endpoint event log auditing and false-positive reduction
Context & Objectives
Deploying endpoint DLP controls to protect corporate proprietary information and sensitive personal data within KVKK-aware data protection boundaries at ASSERSAN.
Technical Challenges
Preventing sensitive data exfiltration to portable media without hindering operational productivity, and designing justified exception workflows for specialized business units.
System Architecture & Interaction Layers
Endpoint DLP and Data Protection Architecture
Sensitive data discovery, peripheral control, and incident logging workflow.
Sensitive data definitions, national ID (TCKN) patterns, and financial data filters.
USB storage restrictions, peripheral policies, and departmental exception groups.
Endpoint telemetry monitoring, false-positive tuning, and central management.
Key Responsibilities
- ›Designing and configuring ManageEngine Endpoint Central DLP policies
- ›Creating sensitive data classification rule sets
- ›Defining USB and peripheral interface access policies
- ›Managing departmental exception groups and analyzing incident logs
Architectural Approach
Adopted a phased rollout methodology. Initial observation in audit/monitoring mode identified legitimate data flows, followed by targeted enforcement on high-risk vectors and calibrated departmental exceptions.
Implementation & Deployment
- 1.Distributed Endpoint Central DLP agents across managed workstations.
- 2.Configured detection filters for national identity numbers (TCKN), financial records, and proprietary documents.
- 3.Enforced blocking and read-only restrictions for removable USB storage devices.
- 4.Defined controlled exception groups for departments with verified operational transfer requirements.
Testing & Validation
- ✓Simulated USB data exfiltration and sensitive data pattern transfers on pilot endpoints.
- ✓Verified operational continuity and audit log generation for permitted exception groups.
Concrete Outcomes
Configured sensitive data protection rule sets via ManageEngine Endpoint Central DLP.
Enforced USB and peripheral device restrictions across managed endpoints.
Implemented structured departmental exception governance for authorized business units.
Engineering Lessons & Reflections
Phased deployment with an initial audit period minimizes employee friction and prevents unintended business disruption.
Exception governance must adhere strictly to the principle of least privilege with periodic validity reviews.
