Is Microsoft Purview a DLP solution?

Microsoft Purview includes DLP as one of its capabilities, alongside information protection, data classification, insider risk management, and compliance management. DLP policies in Purview prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive data across email, cloud storage, Teams chats, and endpoint devices.

Does Microsoft 365 include DLP?

Yes, DLP capabilities are included in Microsoft 365 E3, E5, and specific compliance add-on licenses. The level of DLP functionality varies by subscription tier, with E5 offering the most comprehensive protection including endpoint DLP and advanced classifiers.

What is an example of a DLP policy?

The policy detects the sensitive information type, alerts the user, and can block or encrypt the message automatically. Organizations configure similar policies for social security numbers, health records, and proprietary business data.
