Solar Dozor Confirms Compatibility with VILIKS's Loop Messenger

On 9 October 2026, Solar Group and VILIKS announced confirmed compatibility between two products: the Solar Dozor DLP system and the Loop corporate messenger. The practical meaning is simple. Companies that use Loop for work communication will be able to connect a data loss prevention system to it, rather than keeping chats outside their information security perimeter.

The news is niche and infrastructural. But it is exactly this kind of pairing that determines how real data protection turns out to be in organizations where the corporate messenger has already displaced email as the main communication channel.

What exactly was confirmed

Solar is part of a group of companies working in cybersecurity, and Solar Dozor is one of the more prominent DLP systems on the Russian market. It analyzes information flows inside an organization and looks for confidential data in them: personal information, contracts, financial documents, source code. Loop is a corporate messenger developed by VILIKS. It is built for internal communication: chats, groups and file sharing.

Confirmed compatibility means the two sides have tested the products working together. The full text of the announcement, in the part available to us, does not disclose details, so below is only what can be stated with certainty:

• Products: Solar Dozor (DLP) and Loop (corporate messenger).
• Parties: Solar Group and VILIKS.
• Status: compatibility confirmed.
• Goal: control over the data that employees send through the messenger.
• Not disclosed in the source excerpt: product versions, the integration scheme, the list of monitored message and attachment types, and whether real-time blocking is available.

Why chats became a blind spot

Classic DLP systems were built around email, web gateways and removable media. Meanwhile, work communication has moved to messengers. They are faster, more informal and carry more files. An employee can forward an export of the client database to a chat in seconds, and without a DLP integration the system will not know about it.

If the messenger is closed and deployed inside the company perimeter, the security team has two options. The first is to connect DLP through the messenger's own built-in mechanisms. The second is to intercept traffic at the network level, which is difficult and brittle when encryption is in use. Confirmed compatibility points to the first option: the vendors have agreed on the integration points instead of leaving the customer to figure it out alone.

There is also a broader context. Alongside messengers, companies have gained another leak channel: employees paste internal documents and code into public chatbots built on large language models. DLP vendors are responding by extending control over channels and improving content classification, including with machine learning. The available text does not say whether this particular Solar Dozor integration with Loop uses ML mechanisms, so it is too early to draw conclusions here.

What to check before deployment

For a CISO or an IT architect, confirmed compatibility is a starting point, not a guarantee of results. Before a pilot, it is worth finding out several things:

• Which versions of Solar Dozor and Loop are part of the confirmed configuration.
• What exactly is intercepted: private and group chats, files, voice messages, message edits and deletions.
• Whether monitoring works in audit mode, or whether there is blocking and notification at the moment a message is sent.
• How personal data is handled: storage of message copies, retention periods, analysts' access rights.
• How much load the system puts on the infrastructure with a large number of users.

Labor and legal support is a separate question. Monitoring communications requires formal policies, employee notification and clear rules for access to intercepted data. Connecting DLP technically is easier than launching chat monitoring in a legally correct way.

For the market, this is one more example of Russian vendors assembling coherent security stacks from separate solutions. For customers, the concrete benefit will become clear after pilots: it will show how deeply the integration works at real volumes and how many false positives it produces.
