DLP architecture options
Cloud DLP primarily is seen in three architecture patterns: the content/streaming and storage methods and a hybrid architecture that combines these two patterns.
Content methods
In this architecture option, the data is streamed to the Cloud DLP APIs for inspection/classification or de-identification/transformation. A synchronous API response is received from Cloud DLP. In this case, the client application is expected to process the response. This architecture is typically seen in data pipelines or call center applications where real-time response is needed.
Figure 10.1 – Content method architecture
As shown in Figure 10.1, using content inspection, you stream small payloads of data to Cloud DLP along with instructions about what to inspect for. Cloud DLP then inspects the data for sensitive content and personally identifiable information (PII) and returns the results of its scan back to you.
Storage methods
