Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention Primary Use Case

We use it for scheduled audit log retrieval on a monthly basis. We have strictly confidential SharePoint sites and requests come in where we have to find out the activity by users, such as who has viewed specific files or pages on a particular site. The logs contain activity by users and are part of Microsoft Purview. We can run search queries against the logs to get user activity across the tenant for a particular, confidential site.

We prioritize the control of sensitive data according to our classification, which closely aligns with Microsoft's classification system. Our main goal is to prevent the loss of personal secret data. To achieve this, we focus on specific data types. Our use case involves managing managers who interact with customers. The objective is to limit access to this sensitive data within different departments, allowing some groups to have access while denying it to others. We also control outgoing information through the extension line.

The basic use case scenario is as follows: when we receive sensitive personal data from a customer, we classify this information with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for information protection. The next step involves narrowing down the range of people who can access this data through recording management. The third step is to use DLP to prevent the loss of this personal information through the extension line.

The second part of the process deals with the use and storage of this information in OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. We label and save it within the perimeter system. Lastly, we implement retention policies and tuition policies to ensure that the controlled path of this information is secure and that it is deleted when necessary.

We do implementations for Endpoint DLP and the cloud-based DLP. It can prevent the exfiltration of documentation, automate the classification of documents, and look for PII. We work on any sensitive information that customers don't want to leave the environment.

The purpose of the solution is connected to the fact that we use the whole Microsoft suite. We use the DLP mostly, but we also use Defender which comes with the Microsoft license.

Up until now, we have used it to investigate everything, what's going on and whether people are sharing data, but mainly for monitoring. There are just a few things that are being blocked right now.

We basically use it to track personal identifiable information. We are also using it to label any confidential, company trade secret, and internal data. We have an internal use policy and a confidential use policy to encrypt the documents.
