Microsoft GivesYou the Engine.We Tell YouIf It's Broken.
NLCS DLPlytics is the interpretation layer Microsoft doesn't provide. We analyze your Purview DLP environment, diagnose what's generating noise, and redesign your policies to actually work — without replacing your E5 investment.
Serving Enterprise & Government (GCC / GCC High) clients
Microsoft Purview Is Powerful. Properly Configured, It's Transformative.
Most organizations deploy Purview DLP and immediately drown in alerts. The tool isn't the problem — the configuration is.
Alert Fatigue Is Overwhelming Your SOC
Out-of-the-box Purview policies generate thousands of false positives per month. Analysts spend more time dismissing noise than investigating real threats.
Misconfigurations Are Invisible
Overly broad rules — like minCount = 1 on common data types — silently inflate alert volumes. Without deep analysis, you don't know what's broken.
Your E5 Investment Isn't Delivering
Microsoft 365 E5 includes powerful DLP capabilities, but most organizations use less than 20% of its potential due to complexity and lack of specialized expertise.
Multi-Workload Alert Duplication
A single user action can trigger simultaneous alerts across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Endpoint — creating the illusion of a major incident from one event.
Microsoft Has the Data. They Don't Have the Interpretation.
Our expert analysis concludes Microsoft is 2–4 years away from a basic version and 5+ years from a true DLP intelligence system. Here's exactly what they have — and what they're missing.
"Microsoft gives you the engine. DLPlytics tells you if the engine is broken — and how to fix it."
You're not competing with Microsoft. You're becoming the interpretation layer that sits on top of their platform — the missing piece their own roadmap won't deliver for years.
A Structured, Repeatable Four-Phase Process
Every DLPlytics engagement follows the same proven framework — ensuring consistent, measurable outcomes.
Discovery & Data Ingestion
NLCS engineers use proprietary PowerShell extraction scripts to pull your existing DLP policies, rule configurations, and 30–90 days of Activity Explorer data. We establish a precise baseline of your current alert noise.
- Policy export & inventory
- Activity Explorer data pull
- Baseline noise measurement
Analytics & Correlation
Our analytics engine calculates the Noise-to-Signal ratio for every policy, identifies duplicate alerts across workloads, and flags overly broad rules — all without your data ever leaving your environment.
- Policy effectiveness scoring
- Multi-workload deduplication
- Misconfiguration flagging
Optimization & Tuning
We redesign policies to reduce false positives while maintaining compliance. All changes are first validated in Purview's Simulation Mode before enforcement — zero production risk.
- SIT threshold adjustment
- Advanced condition design
- Simulation Mode validation
Executive Reporting & Handoff
We deliver a comprehensive executive report showing before/after alert volumes, risk coverage improvements, and SOC runbooks your team can use for ongoing maintenance.
- Before/after comparison
- Risk coverage metrics
- SOC runbook delivery
Structured Engagements. Measurable Outcomes.
Start with a Health Assessment to prove value quickly, then scale into full remediation and ongoing posture management.
Purview DLP Health Assessment
A fixed-scope engagement that runs the DLPlytics discovery and analytics phases. You receive a comprehensive report detailing current misconfigurations, alert noise levels, and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
- Policy inventory & effectiveness scores
- Alert noise analysis report
- Misconfiguration findings
- Remediation roadmap
DLPlytics Optimization & Remediation
A full implementation engagement that executes the recommendations from the Health Assessment. We tune policies, eliminate noise, and deliver SOC runbooks your team can maintain independently.
- Full policy redesign & tuning
- Simulation Mode validation
- Reduced alert volume (measured)
- SOC runbooks & documentation
Managed DLP Posture
Continuous monthly tuning and executive reporting. As your business evolves and Microsoft updates Purview, we keep your policies aligned and your SOC team informed.
- Monthly executive dashboard
- Continuous policy adjustments
- Microsoft update impact analysis
- Quarterly posture review
Executive-Ready DLP Intelligence
Every engagement delivers a clear, data-driven view of your DLP posture — designed for both your CIRT team and your executive leadership.
Sample DLP Policy Effectiveness Dashboard — Delivered with Every Engagement
Built for Organizations Where Data Risk Is Non-Negotiable
Enterprise Security Teams
Mid-to-large enterprises (1,000–10,000+ seats) with Microsoft 365 E5 experiencing alert fatigue, SOC burnout, or compliance audit failures related to DLP.
- CIRT & SOC teams overwhelmed by false positives
- Compliance officers facing DLP audit findings
- Security architects inheriting poorly configured Purview tenants
- Organizations preparing for CMMC, HIPAA, or PCI audits
Government & Defense Contractors
Federal agencies and defense contractors in GCC and GCC High environments where CMMC compliance, data sovereignty, and NIST alignment are mandatory.
- GCC / GCC High Microsoft 365 tenants
- CMMC Level 2 & 3 compliance requirements
- DoD contractors handling CUI data
- Agencies requiring FedRAMP-aligned DLP posture
Purview Specialists. Not Generalists.
NLCS is a specialized cybersecurity architecture firm. We don't sell Purview licenses, manage help desks, or offer broad IT consulting. We do one thing exceptionally well: make Microsoft Purview DLP environments perform at their full potential.
The DLPlytics methodology is our proprietary intellectual property — developed through deep hands-on experience with complex enterprise and government Purview deployments. Every engagement is led by a Principal Architect, not delegated to junior staff.
Request Your DLP Health Assessment
Start with a fixed-fee Health Assessment. In 2–3 weeks, you'll have a precise picture of your Purview DLP posture and a clear roadmap to fix it.
