Modules in this learning path

Understand and plan data loss prevention

Effective data loss prevention (DLP) starts with understanding how risk is evaluated and how protection decisions are applied. This module focuses on the concepts and planning considerations that help organizations design DLP policies that protect sensitive data without disrupting everyday work.

Create and manage data loss prevention policies

Effective data loss prevention (DLP) policies are shaped by a series of deliberate decisions rather than individual settings. Clear intent, well-defined detection, appropriate scope, and measured actions determine how policies behave in real workflows. Validation and ongoing adjustment help ensure protection remains effective as risk and usage change.

Implement endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) with Microsoft Purview

Endpoint DLP in Microsoft Purview helps organizations protect sensitive data on endpoint devices by monitoring, restricting, or allowing actions such as file transfers, copying, and sharing. Learn how to onboard devices, configure settings, and create custom policies to ensure data security across your organization.

Configure DLP policies for Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps and Power Platform

Learn how to configure and implement data loss prevention policies and integrate them with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
