Cloud Data Loss Prevention (Cloud DLP) is now a part of Sensitive Data Protection. The API name remains the same: Cloud Data Loss Prevention API (DLP API). For information about the services that make up Sensitive Data Protection, see Sensitive Data Protection overview.
Schedule periodic inspection of a
Cloud Storage bucket, a BigQuery table, or a
Datastore kind. For detailed instructions, see
Creating and scheduling inspection jobs.
How-to guides
This section provides a categorized list of task-based guides that demonstrate
how to use Sensitive Data Protection with Cloud Storage.
Create and schedule a job trigger that searches for sensitive data in a
Cloud Storage bucket, a BigQuery table, or a
Datastore kind. A job trigger automates the creation of
Sensitive Data Protection jobs on a periodic basis.
Implement an automated data quarantine and classification system using Sensitive Data Protection, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Run functions.
