About DLPVANSH

DLPVANSH is a free, open-access Data Loss Prevention (DLP) testing platform designed for information security professionals, IT administrators, and compliance teams. Our mission is to provide a simple, reliable, and vendor-neutral tool that helps organizations verify their DLP policies are working as intended.

Why We Built DLPVANSH

Testing DLP policies has traditionally been a cumbersome process. Security teams often need to set up dedicated test environments, configure custom endpoints, or rely on limited vendor-provided testing tools. Many existing DLP test sites are outdated, unreliable, or lack the flexibility to test different protocols, content types, and body formats.

DLPVANSH was created to fill this gap. We wanted to build a modern, always-available testing endpoint that lets security professionals quickly validate their DLP configurations without any setup overhead. Whether you need to test a simple text-based policy or verify that your DLP system correctly inspects multipart file uploads with specific MIME types, DLPVANSH handles it all from your browser.

What Makes DLPVANSH Different

How It Works

DLPVANSH operates as a straightforward web application. When you submit a text payload or upload a file, the data is sent as an HTTP or HTTPS request to our server. The request passes through your organization's network, where your DLP system (whether it's a proxy, inline appliance, endpoint agent, or cloud-based service) has the opportunity to inspect the traffic.

If your DLP detects sensitive data in the payload and blocks the request, DLPVANSH reports the transmission as "BLOCKED." If the request reaches our server without interception, it's reported as "ALLOWED." This simple feedback loop lets you quickly iterate on your DLP policy configurations.

The testing tool gives you control over several parameters that affect how DLP systems inspect traffic:

• Protocol: HTTP vs. HTTPS determines whether the traffic is encrypted, which affects whether network-based DLP can inspect it without SSL decryption.
• Body Format: MultiPart vs. SinglePart changes how the payload is structured in the HTTP request, testing different parsing capabilities of your DLP.
• MIME Type: The Content-Type header can influence whether and how a DLP system inspects the payload content.

Use Cases

Organizations use DLPVANSH for a variety of purposes:

• Initial DLP Deployment: Validate that newly deployed DLP policies are detecting and blocking the intended data patterns.
• Policy Tuning: After adjusting DLP rules, quickly verify that changes produce the desired behavior without unintended side effects.
• Compliance Audits: Demonstrate to auditors that DLP controls are functioning correctly by running documented test cases.
• Security Assessments: As part of penetration testing or security reviews, test whether DLP systems can be bypassed using different protocols or content types.
• Training: Help new security team members understand how DLP works by providing hands-on testing experience.
• Vendor Evaluation: Compare how different DLP solutions handle the same test payloads when evaluating new products.
