7 Data-Exit Channels
Control seven endpoint data channels
COSGrid Endpoint DLP | Endpoint Data Loss Prevention
Keep Sensitive Data on the Device. Not on a Pen Drive.
Protect sensitive information across seven everyday data-exit channels with COSGrid Endpoint DLP.
Why teams switch to Endpoint DLP
No Separate Agent
Integrated with COSGrid MicroZ Client
Monitor Before Enforce
Observe policies before enforcement
What is COSGrid Endpoint DLP?
COSGrid Endpoint DLP is an endpoint data loss prevention solution that helps organisations control data movement through seven channels on managed Windows devices: USB, clipboard, screen capture, printing, remote desktop redirection, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Policies are managed centrally through COSGrid Guider and enforced directly on the device by the COSGrid MicroZ Client.
Key Principle
Centralised policies. Endpoint-level protection.
How It WorksPolicy Workflow
01
Define Endpoint Policies
Configured centrally in COSGrid Guider
Create policies for individual users or teams, configure controls for all seven channels, and define exclusions and tenant-wide defaults.
02
Simulate Policy Changes
Preview before you save
Preview policy changes before saving them and review the effective policy for individual users to see which settings will apply.
03
Enforce Policies on Devices
Applied by the MicroZ Client
The MicroZ Client enforces configured policies on managed Windows endpoints. Start with monitor mode to observe activity before enforcing.
04
Monitor Endpoint Activity
Events and policy information in Guider
See which policy was applied, which user and session were involved, which channel was affected and what action was recorded.
Challenges
Everyday Endpoint Activities Can Expose Sensitive Data
Printed Documents
Confidential documents can be printed and taken out of the organisation.
Remote Desktop Sessions
Information can be transferred through clipboard, drive and printer redirection in remote desktop sessions.
Unapproved Wireless Networks
Devices can connect to unapproved Wi-Fi networks outside the organisation's control.
Features
Know What Happens Across Your Managed Devices
Detailed Endpoint Events
- Identify the Windows user, active session and affected endpoint device.
- Track applied policies, policy modes and endpoint data-exit channels.
- Capture recorded actions and outcomes for security investigations.
Differentiators
Manage Endpoint Security Policies from One Console
One Policy per Team or User
One Policy per Team or User
- Manage all seven channels through a unified policy framework; define exclusions and tenant-wide defaults.
- When multiple policies apply, the strictest applicable setting wins for each control.
Policy Simulation
Policy Simulation
- Preview proposed policy changes before saving them.
- Understand the potential impact and reduce unexpected restrictions during deployment.
Monitor Mode
Monitor Mode
- Observe endpoint activity before enforcing restrictions.
- Review what configured policies would have done and refine settings before enforcement.
Effective Policy Visibility
Effective Policy Visibility
- Understand which policy determines each endpoint control for a particular user.
- Simplify troubleshooting and identify why a specific restriction applies.
Dynamic Team Membership
Dynamic Team Membership
- Updated policy applies at the device's next check-in when a user changes teams.
- No need for the administrator to save the policy again.
Policy Change Audit Trail
Policy Change Audit Trail
- Maintain records of policy changes, including before-and-after values.
- Support administrative reviews and security audits.

Use cases
Endpoint Data Protection Across Business Environments
Protect Sensitive Customer and Financial Data
Protect customer records, account details, transaction information and financial reports across banks, NBFCs and fintech organisations. Apply endpoint DLP policies to restrict USB transfers, control clipboard activities and printing, and enforce approved Wi-Fi network restrictions to prevent unauthorised data movement across managed devices.
Govern Insurance Data and Remote Access Activities
Safeguard policyholder information, claims records and confidential insurance documents accessed by employees, agents and third-party vendors. Control USB access, clipboard operations and printing, while restricting drive, clipboard and printer redirection during supported remote desktop sessions.
Secure Client Data and Confidential Project Information
Protect client information, source code, project documents and business-critical data handled by IT teams and distributed delivery centres. Enforce endpoint controls for USB storage, clipboard transfers, screen capture and printing, while monitoring data movement across managed devices.
Establish Organisation-Wide Endpoint Data Protection
Introduce endpoint DLP across departments, branch offices and distributed teams through a phased rollout. Start with simulation and monitor modes to assess risks, then progressively enforce USB, clipboard, screen capture, printing, remote desktop and network access policies without disrupting business operations.

COSGrid Endpoint DLP - FAQs
Have a question about Endpoint DLP?
What is COSGrid Endpoint DLP?
COSGrid Endpoint DLP is an endpoint data loss prevention solution that helps organisations control data movement through seven channels on managed Windows devices: USB, clipboard, screen capture, printing, remote desktop redirection, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Which operating systems are supported? COSGrid Endpoint DLP is available for managed Windows devices.
Does Endpoint DLP require a separate agent? No separate Endpoint DLP agent is required. Endpoint DLP operates within the COSGrid MicroZ Client and is managed through COSGrid Guider.
Take Control of Endpoint Data Movement
Sensitive information moves through everyday activities on employee devices. Give your security team greater control over these activities with centrally managed policies, device-level enforcement and detailed endpoint visibility.
Start with a two-week monitor-mode assessment on a pilot group. Understand observed endpoint activity, evaluate the impact of configured controls and plan a phased enforcement rollout.
