Microsoft Graph Security API for Alerts is same for DLP alerts?

Question

Does the graph api https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/security/alerts lists DLP Alerts ? what i am trying to achieve is get the list of alerts and automatically assign the alerts to respective departments security heads.

Hi @Christian Godi ,

Microsoft Graph Security API alerts are different from DLP Alerts. Microsoft Graph Security API alerts are potential security issues within a customer's tenant that Microsoft or partner security solutions have identified and flagged for action or notification. With the Microsoft Graph Security alerts entity, you can unify and streamline management of security issues across all integrated solutions.

As you can see in the documentation, Data loss prevention (DLP) policies comes under M365 compliance center. Microsoft Graph compliance and privacy APIs are available but currently these APIs only supports the below and there is no API available on Data loss prevention (DLP) policies :

• Create and manage subject rights requests
• Automate common tasks in eDiscovery (currently this is only available in Beta API)

Hope this helps.
