Encrypt your email going out. Either using internal technologies (if your company has any implemented [zix, ironport, etc]) or set up your own (such as PGP). Or just encrypt your data yourself with something. Simpler the better. ROT13? Rather than just email, try to save the file out on your network shares, or a USB key, or burned to a CD.
Try to upload to an SSL-enabled site that you control. If you have an Excel file or something, try playing with the columns and splitting up fields that may trigger the detections, like SSN or CC# before sending it to yourself out in the world. If you're really having some trouble, start looking into tunneling traffic (http, dns?) or stego. Stego the files or otherwise scramble them and try to use your USB stick. Or an encrypted one. Or boot into a livecd and harvest straight from your disk. DLP vendors love when you mention anything to do with SSL or encryption. :) My typical opinion of DLP is that it is a good idea, but it is worthless without several other controls such as physical access, device access, local admin rights, web proxies, egress firewalling, etc. Otherwise it suffers the same issues many accuse AV of: pattern and signature matching limitations. If you throw it something proprietary or strange, it'll be defeated.
