Microsoft Purview DLP Extends to Microsoft 365 Copilot

As organizations increasingly adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot to enhance productivity and collaboration, ensuring the security of corporate data becomes more and more important. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) offers a robust solution to safeguard sensitive information. Purview's new and upcoming DLP capabilities can soon help secure your organization's use of Copilot even better.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is expanding its capabilities to support Microsoft 365 Copilot. This enhancement will allow DLP policies to identify sensitive documents using sensitivity labels and exclude them from processing in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat.

The feature will be available for customers who already have E5 (or equivalent) licenses together with copilot licenses. Information protection admins can then create policies that will include Microsoft Copilot in addition to all of the existing services.

The preview started in late November, and it should be available to test for most enterprise customers already. Keep an eye on Roadmap ID 423483 for further details.
