Summary and resources

  • 3 minutes

In this module, we explored how Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies help protect sensitive data from accidental exposure. You learned to design policies tailored to your organization's needs by identifying stakeholders, defining categories of sensitive data, and setting clear security goals. We also covered how to deploy these policies incrementally, using simulation mode to fine-tune them without disrupting day-to-day activities.

By implementing these policies, your organization can prevent data breaches, ensure compliance, and maintain productivity. Without DLP, managing data security across platforms would be inefficient and prone to mistakes. The module highlighted the importance of continuous monitoring and refinement through activity tracking and alerts to keep your DLP policies effective.

In this module, you learned to:

  • Understand the purpose and benefits of Microsoft Purview DLP.
  • Plan, design, simulate, and deploy DLP policies.
  • Apply Adaptive Protection for dynamic, risk-based data controls.
  • Use DLP analytics to improve policy effectiveness.
  • Monitor, investigate, and refine policies using alerts and activity tracking.
