# Offboarding a DSPM Project

This article outlines the steps for offboarding a DSPM project.

### Offboarding Overview

Offboarding involves stopping the monitoring of a cloud account in Prisma Cloud Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and deleting it from the DSPM console. This process removes all data associated with the specified cloud account.

### Deleted Data

When offboarding is initiated, the following data will be deleted:

* Assets
* Classification findings
* Risk findings
* Activity log entries
* Dynamic resources used for scans

The following resources are not deleted:

* Static resources created by Prisma Cloud DSPM for scanning purposes
* Third-party integrations
* Prisma Cloud DSPM deployment resources, including::
  * Roles
  * Service accounts
  * Bindings

### Offboarding Steps

Before initiating the offboarding process, review the cloud account information in the Prisma Cloud DSPM console.

**Important:** The offboarding process is irreversible; once initiated, it cannot be canceled, and all data will be permanently deleted.

To start the offboarding process:

1. Navigate to the DSPM project you want to offboard.
2. Click its gear icon on the far right side of the Cloud Accounts table, and select Offboard Project.\

3. Read the information provided and click **Offboard** to confirm.\

During the offboarding process, the following occurs:

* Cloud account monitoring will disabled.
* An 'Offboarding' tag will be applied to the cloud account.
* All data associated with the cloud account will be deleted within 72 hours. Note that data may still appear in the console during this period.

**IMPORTANT**: The cloud infrastructure deployed by DSPM will not be deleted during the offboarding process. For more details, refer to the specific offboarding documentation. **This process is irreversible, so proceed with caution**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/content-collections/data-security-posture-management/prisma-cloud-dspm-deployment/offboarding-dspm-project.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
