DLP Content Analysis Runtime Status 2026-05-13

This document records the production-verified state of advanced content analysis on <AW_SERVER_HOST>.

What is live

• Endpoint-side dictionary and regex matching is active in windows/dlp-endpoint-signals-collector.ps1.
• Active policy supports:
  • contentAnalysis.dictionaryPack
  • contentAnalysis.regexPack
  • contentAnalysis.ocrEnabled
  • ioc.*
• Historical incidents in aw-dlp-incidents_HOST-EXAMPLE already contain enriched fields:
  • dictionaryMatches
  • regexMatches
  • ocrRequested
• IOC refresh pipeline is deployed and active:
  • aw-dlp-ioc-refresh.timer
  • output artifacts:
    • /opt/activitywatch/dlp-ioc/output/ioc_blacklist.json
    • /opt/activitywatch/dlp-ioc/output/ioc_blacklist.csv
    • /opt/activitywatch/dlp-ioc/output/ioc_blacklist.sql

What was fixed in this phase

• Server-side analyzer dependencies were installed only inside a virtualenv, but there was no canonical wrapper to run the analyzer in production.
• Added /usr/local/bin/aw-dlp-content-analyzer, which executes:
  • /opt/activitywatch/dlp-content-analysis/.venv/bin/python
  • /opt/activitywatch/dlp-content-analysis/content_analyzer.py

Supported production mode

Fully supported now

• Endpoint-side enrichment:
  • clipboard and print content are matched against dictionary and regex packs on the endpoint;
  • enriched incidents are sent to AW with structured matches;
  • ocrRequested=true is carried into incident metadata when policy requires screenshot/OCR follow-up.
• IOC enrichment:
  • Hayabusa/Sigma-derived IOC artifacts are refreshed on the server and exposed over HTTP for policy consumption.
• Server-side manual/operational analysis:
  • operators can run aw-dlp-content-analyzer for text or image artifacts using the deployed packs and OCR stack.

Not a continuous background pipeline yet

• There is no standalone daemon that automatically scans screenshot artifacts after incident creation.
• OCR is production-usable as a server-side utility path, not as an always-on post-processing service.

Live verification commands

sudo systemctl status aw-dlp-ioc-refresh.timer --no-pager
ls -1 /opt/activitywatch/dlp-ioc/output
aw-dlp-content-analyzer --text "СНИЛС 112-233-445 95 пароль qwerty" --dictionary-pack 152-fz-pdn --regex-pack secrets

Expected result:

• IOC artifacts exist and are non-empty.
• The analyzer returns dictionary and regex matches for the sample text.
