# InspectTemplate

InspectTemplate in Google Cloud is a reusable configuration for Data Loss Prevention (DLP) inspections. It defines what types of sensitive data to look for, such as personally identifiable information, and how to inspect content. By using an InspectTemplate, you can standardize and simplify DLP jobs or API calls across multiple projects or data sources.
