1. Create and Deploy DLP Policies: This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to create and deploy DLP policies using Microsoft Purview. It covers various configuration options and deployment strategies.
   • Create and Deploy DLP Policies
2. DLP Policy Reference: This resource details the components of DLP policies, including templates, scoping, and rules. It’s essential for understanding how each component influences policy behavior.
