DLP (Data Loss Prevention) for Email & Teams
Implementing targeted DLP policies for a few high-value data types across Exchange Online, Teams, and endpoints.
Environment & context
- Microsoft 365 tenant with mixed workloads (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams).
- Licensing: Business Premium / E3-style environment.
- Goal: Improve security without breaking day-to-day work.
Approach
This walkthrough outlines the practical steps taken to design, test, and roll out this control in a live tenant. It focuses on decisions, trade-offs, and lessons learned rather than every click in the portal.
Outcome
Accidental data leaks are reduced and security teams get actionable alerts when sensitive data leaves expected boundaries.
