"We Already Have DLP": 4 Reasons It Doesn’t Cover PDPL Alone

Four things the law requires that DLP doesn’t give you

First, proving who the affected data belongs to, not just flagging a pattern that looks sensitive. Second, responding to data-subject requests, access, deletion, objection, within 30 days, extendable once by up to 30 more. Third, a Record of Processing Activities with eight statutory fields, retained throughout processing plus 5 years after. Fourth, an impact assessment for any public-facing product, plus a handful of other specific triggers.

The takeaway, plainly

DLP stops the leak of something you already know is sensitive. PDPL asks deeper questions than that: whose is this, for how long, and on what basis are you keeping it at all? Those are policy and records questions, not packet-blocking ones.
