Which term describes devices not managed under DLP but can be monitored?

The term "unmanaged" accurately describes devices that are not managed under Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies but can still be monitored for activities related to data protection. In the context of DLP, devices that fall under the unmanaged category are typically those that do not have the necessary software or configurations in place to control or safeguard sensitive data actively. Although these devices cannot be directly controlled or restricted by DLP policies, organizations retain the ability to monitor them for any potential violations or unusual activities concerning sensitive data, which is crucial for maintaining overall data security.

In contrast, terms like "control group" typically refer to a set of devices or systems that are actively managed and compared against a baseline, while "unmanageable" suggests that devices cannot be addressed at all, which differs from monitoring capabilities. The term "unrestricted" generally implies that there are no limitations or controls in place, which does not accurately reflect the status of monitoring capabilities for devices not managed under DLP. Thus, "unmanaged" is the most fitting term for describing the specific context of devices that are monitored but not actively governed by DLP policies.
