The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) program within Coty involves a set of IT / Regulatory systems and processes to prevent Coty sensitive data being lost (or ‘leaking’) from Coty. It is part of the cybersecurity suite of systems – and unlike security systems like firewalls and access controls which prevent bad actors getting in, DLP recognizes that unfortunately internal personnel also form part of the risk landscape, by risky (and usually inadvertent) practices that puts Coty data at risk (eg. sending work emails to their Gmail to be easier to read on the train home). The DLP program, once implemented, will monitor Microsoft suite (MS365 - Outlook email/Teams/SharePoint/OneDrive) and implement a set of policies/rules to detect and prevent actions that put Coty sensitive data at risk.

The role requires working across all departments at Coty, including Coty IT (for technical running of the DLP systems), HR and Legal (for investigations and escalations of DLP alerts/breaches) and well as all main Coty functions through the DLP Department Lead group.
