Technical Bulletin MC779849 Published Apr 18, 2024
Summary
Microsoft is enhancing DLP features in Outlook Win32 for Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance users by introducing ‘Message contains’ and ‘Attachment contains’ predicates. These allow for client-side evaluation of email components and display relevant Policy tips and Oversharing popups. Rollout begins mid-April 2024 with completion by January 2025. No admin action is required for the update.
Details
Introducing two new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Microsoft Exchange support predicates for DLP Policy tips and Oversharing popups features for Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance users: Message contains and Attachment contains. Unlike the broader Content contains DLP predicate that evaluated the entire email envelope, these new predicates are tailored for client-side evaluation of specific email components only (email body or attachments) and show DLP Policy tips and Oversharing popups accordingly in Microsoft Outlook Win32.
