Securing Mission-Critical Data in ERP Systems with Curtain e-locker DLP

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms, whether on-premise or cloud-based, manage a company’s financial records, supply chain data, human resources information, and other business operations. When authorized users export reports, spreadsheets, or documents—such as budgets, payroll files, or BOMs—those files leave the protection of the ERP system and become vulnerable to internal misuse, leaks, or theft.

The Challenge: Keeping ERP Data Safe After Export

The critical exposure point is after export. Once business data becomes a standalone file outside the ERP, it can be copied, shared, or printed, free from system controls.

Insider Theft: Staff and contractors may extract financial or production data for personal gain.

Compliance Risk: Accidental disclosure of personal or financial information can lead to fines under GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other regulations.

Reputation Damage: Loss of sensitive data can erode customer trust and business relationships.

The Added Risk in SaaS ERP Deployments

Web-based ERP solutions like SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Oracle Cloud ERP, or NetSuite allow users to access data from anywhere. However, standard SaaS controls stop working once files are exported and land on a user’s computer.

Exported files can be stored, transferred, or shared by anyone without further safeguards.
Existing network controls and SaaS settings do not prevent misuse outside the application itself.

Curtain e-locker DLP: Preventing Data Loss at the Endpoint

Curtain e-locker DLP protects ERP data after exporting by managing every step where files can be lost or misused.

Export Controls at the Laptop:

Curtain e-locker is installed on approved devices. It blocks saving to USB, uploading to cloud drives, or emailing ERP files to non-business accounts.

Access Limitation:

For cloud-based ERPs, admins can set policies so only devices with Curtain e-locker installed—and only within approved network ranges—can access exports. Unauthorized devices are denied access.

Printing Protection:

Printing of confidential ERP documents is restricted or logged. Watermarks can be applied to printed pages for traceability.

Approval Process:

File exports can require manager approval before proceeding, and all actions are tracked for accountability.

Persistent File Protection:

Any file exported from the ERP remains encrypted and cannot be opened on unauthorized devices or outside the company network.

Yes. Exported files stay encrypted and inaccessible unless opened on approved devices with Curtain e-locker installed, even outside the company’s network.

Administrators can require logins and exports to happen only from designated, managed devices with Curtain e-locker. Access is blocked on any other computer or network.

Authorized users can use ERP systems as usual. Security policies apply only at the point of export and risky activity, and records are kept for all sensitive actions.

Why Curtain e-locker DLP Is Needed for ERP Security

Curtain e-locker closes the gap between ERP system controls and the endpoint. This keeps important files protected, even after exporting, from misuse or unauthorized sharing.
