Forcepoint DLP lets organizations control how and where users upload or post sensitive data over HTTP or HTTPS connections via the web DLP quick policy. (Note that the web DLP policy applies to network channels only. To monitor HTTP/S on endpoint machines, such as laptops that are off-network, create a custom policy.)
Monitoring HTTP and HTTPS channels for sensitive data requires one of the following:
*
Integration with Forcepoint Web Security
*
The Web Content Gateway module
*
The Forcepoint DLP protector
 
* 
Tip 
To get the full benefit of Forcepoint DLP's web capabilities, subscribe to Forcepoint Web Security. Forcepoint Web Security uses the Forcepoint Master Database to categorize URLs, and includes a built-in policy engine that speeds analysis.
When Forcepoint Web Security is deployed with the DLP Module, the product registers with the management server during installation to connect to Forcepoint DLP.

Important 
Click Deploy in the Forcepoint Security Manager to complete the registration process.
To confirm that the registration was successful, navigate to the Settings > Deployment > System Modules page in the Data Security module of the Security Manager. A module named "Web Content Gateway" should appear.
