Data Management - Ensure DLP Policies are Enabled

By Ashwin Venugopal -

 








Summary

Enabling these policies helps Exchange Online and SharePoint Online content to be scanned for specific types of data like social security numbers, credit card numbers, or passwords. 

Reason

If DLP policies are enabled, then, they can alert the users and administrators about the type of data not to be exposed which in turn helps in protecting the data from accidental exposure. 

What If?

Setting up these policies will allow Exchange Online and SharePoint Online to be detected or blocked. Appropriate procedures should be followed in order test and implement DLP policies according to an organization's standards.

How to?

To enable DLP policies, use the Microsoft 365 Admin Center:
  1. Under Admin centers pick Compliance to open Microsoft purview.
  2. Under Solutions select Data loss prevention and then Policies.
  3. Now, click Create policy.

Monitor:

To verify that DLP policies are enabled, use the Microsoft 365 Admin Center:

  2. Under Solutions select Data loss prevention and then Policies.
