New York, NY - March 14, 2008

Orchestria, the leader in Information Protection and Control, has identified eight critical requirements that companies must address in their efforts to guard against data loss incidents, which increased four-fold in 2007 when more than 120 million records were reported compromised.¹

The new Orchestria whitepaper, A Data Loss Prevention Solution Requirements Roadmap, describes the eight steps businesses must take to guard against data loss due to uncontrolled web, file, or e-mail activity. With the cost of data loss events increasing eight percent since 2006 to $197 per record (according to a recent Ponemon Institute study), corporations need to take assertive steps to develop an end-to-end solution that proactively prevents data breaches, rather than just reporting on them once they have occurred.

The eight requirements for responsible selection of a DLP solution discussed in the whitepaper include:

1. Identifying and prioritizing vulnerable risk points
2. Understanding the difference between "business accuracy" and "technical accuracy" in DLP solutions
3. Recognizing the value of proven, pre-built data loss prevention policies
4. Defining the need to guard all data against loss, not just confidential and sensitive data
5. Developing appropriate responses to data loss incidents
6. Optimizing remediation processes
7. Providing comprehensive education for end users
8. Designing and implementing a flexible DLP architecture

Orchestria DLP experts are available to address any topics covered in the whitepaper (downloadable from http://www.orchestria.com/resources/) with members of the media, analysts, and bloggers.
