Data loss prevention – a new feature on Office 365

Office 365 has a new feature called Data Loss Prevention. This will allow you to identify, monitor and protect sensitive information across Office 365, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business.

Sensitive information that the feature identifies includes: Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, routing numbers and bank account numbers. When you try to add or share a document that includes one of the previously mentioned types of information, you will get a notification reminding you of the sensitive data included in the document. DLP automatically monitors sensitive information; no action is needed to use this enhanced feature. This monitoring helps to prevent accidental sharing and allows an extra level of security and awareness.

If you have questions about this feature or Office 365 in general, please contact the Help Desk at (414) 229-4040, toll free at (877) 381-3459, visit Bolton Hall 225, or submit them online at gettechhelp.uwm.edu.
