PrivateDLP — AI-Driven Data Loss Prevention & Productivity Insights, Built on Privacy

PrivateDLP — AI-Driven Data Loss Prevention & Productivity Insights, Built on Privacy

PrivateDLP is the professional enterprise edition of USB Disk Security, integrating AI-driven auditing, privacy-focused employee monitoring, and multi-layered endpoint data loss prevention.

First launched in 2007, USB Disk Security has earned the trust of millions of users worldwide as a reliable, lightweight solution for USB threat defense and endpoint access control. For organizations requiring deeper data protection, proactive insider risk detection, and actionable productivity visibility, we present PrivateDLP — the professional enterprise edition of USB Disk Security. Built on the proven foundation of USB and endpoint access management, PrivateDLP elevates traditional data loss prevention with AI-powered screen auditing, intelligent threat detection, and a privacy-first architecture that sets it apart from conventional monitoring tools.

AI-Powered Screen Audit: Measure Productivity Without Compromising Privacy

A defining feature of PrivateDLP is its AI-driven screen audit system, engineered to help teams measure operational efficiency while upholding employee privacy — a balance almost no legacy monitoring software achieves.

Administrators can define what counts as “recreational behavior” for each employee using plain natural language, with no complex rule coding or rigid keyword matching required. The software captures a screen snapshot approximately every 60 seconds and sends it to a large language model (Google Gemini by default) for semantic analysis. The LLM automatically classifies and aggregates each employee’s active work time, idle offline time, and recreational screen time, giving managers clear, actionable insights into team productivity without constant manual oversight.

Most critically, all routine audit screenshots are permanently and immediately deleted after AI analysis. No screen images are stored during standard productivity tracking, and no visual data is retained longer than the split second needed for classification. This privacy-by-design approach eliminates the internal privacy risks, employee distrust, and compliance exposure that plague traditional screen-recording monitoring tools.

Proactive Violation Alerts — Closing the Gaps of Traditional DLP

Conventional rule-based DLP systems depend on rigid, predefined policies that only block known data transfer channels and file patterns. They consistently fail to detect sophisticated, low-profile exfiltration tactics: employees copying sensitive files to obscure cloud storage services, sharing data through uncategorized web apps, or moving information via unofficial niche tools.

PrivateDLP closes this critical security gap with AI-powered violation detection. Administrators can customize alert rules in natural language to define prohibited data-handling behaviors. When the AI identifies a policy violation on an employee’s screen, it instantly notifies the administrator and retains the relevant screenshot as verifiable evidence.

All alert screenshots can be stored either in the customer’s designated on-premises or private cloud storage, or in our secure, compliant cloud storage. This gives organizations full control over evidence retention and ensures audit trails meet regulatory requirements without surrendering data ownership.

Full AI Flexibility & Complete Data Sovereignty

PrivateDLP is built for enterprise-grade control over your data and AI workflows. By default, the platform uses Google Gemini to analyze screen audits, with an explicit, binding guarantee: no screenshots are ever used to train public AI models.

For organizations with stricter data residency, compliance, or security requirements, PrivateDLP offers unrestricted model flexibility. Enterprises can connect their preferred commercial LLM providers — including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini — using their own API credentials. For maximum data sovereignty, the platform also supports self-hosted, on-premises LLM deployments, meaning all screen analysis and data processing happens entirely within the company’s own infrastructure. No sensitive screen data ever leaves the corporate network.

This flexibility makes PrivateDLP suitable for highly regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where data localization and internal data control are non-negotiable.

Proven Enterprise Controls, Now Strengthened

As the professional edition of USB Disk Security, PrivateDLP retains and extends all the enterprise-grade endpoint management capabilities that made the original tool indispensable for IT teams:

  • Centralized Device Control: Administrators manage USB access and network permissions for all endpoints remotely via a unified web-based console.

  • Intelligent Time-Based Policies: Set granular security rules by day of week and time slot, aligning access permissions with working hours, off-hours, weekends and holidays.

  • Multi-Layered Security Protection:

    • USB read/write control to block unauthorized data exfiltration via removable drives

    • Website whitelisting and blacklisting to enforce acceptable internet use policies

    • Application control to prevent unapproved or high-risk software from running on endpoints

    • Built-in firewall rules to control which programs can access the network at the network layer

A New Standard for Modern DLP

PrivateDLP redefines what modern endpoint data loss prevention can be. It combines nearly 20 years of USB and endpoint security expertise from USB Disk Security with cutting-edge AI auditing — all while putting employee privacy and enterprise data sovereignty first.

For teams that have outgrown basic USB security and need a solution that stops both known and hidden data leaks, delivers meaningful productivity insights, and adapts seamlessly to your existing AI infrastructure, PrivateDLP is the professional-grade upgrade built for the modern workplace.
