Temporarily disable Microsoft Endpoint DLP on host?

Question

Is there any way to temporarily disable/bypass/override/etc Microsoft Endpoint DLP on host? For example, if DLP is blocking a user from uploading a file to a website, and after investigating we have decided to authorize the upload, is there anything we can do to immediately allow it? Our previous DLP solution would allow us (Security Team) to enter a temporary bypass password in the DLP client on the users workstation in these solutions. I know we can set exceptions in the DLP Policy for sites (and we do), but those take hours/days to get synced to the users machine. We need an option to immediately intervene in real time when Endpoint DLP is preventing authorized business operation.

Answer 1

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way to bypass the DLP policies as part of the set up for security implementation. If that resource was blocked by the company policy, either a exception needs to be emitted or the policy reevaluated by the security department. The only way would be to add exceptions to the user.

I can recommend the next article as reference to set up the exceptions:
