DLP-systems have been researched, including: DLP architecture research, identification of the main intercepted channels, technologies used in DLP to analyze the traffic that enters the system. The market of the world and Russian DLP-systems is analyzed and the domestic developments in DLP sphere are compared. Based on the conducted studies, the main stages of the system implementation were revealed, including: system testing, which allows to identify advantages and disadvantages of each system, when choosing the optimal solution. Recommendations for installation and configuration of the system was given, including recommendations for gathering requirements for configuring IS policies and controlling external ports. And also the process of responding to incidents of information security revealed, which makes it possible to make the most effective using DLP system in practice. The research has not only theoretical but also practical significance, recommendations can be successfully applied in practice when implementing or testing DLP-systems, since all recommendations were given on the basis of practical DLP implementation experience and communication with direct users of these systems.
