I am notoriously bad at picking up on sarcasm over email, especially
lacking the appropriate <sarcasm> tag, but are you seriously suggesting
tailoring the testing to only highlight the features that you know work? I
can understand wanting to demonstrate what would get caught, but the real
value of testing this system is to find out where the weakness exist so
that appropriate controls can be added to reduce those risks. The testing
methodology should be expansive enough to use as education for the idiots.

I agree with Ron - DLP is an "idiot screen" and is useful for little
more. Therefore, your testing methodology should be to emulate idiots
and nothing more. (and educate any idiot who thinks it will solve your
leakage issues.)
