Microsoft Edge enforces screen capture restrictions for sensitivity-labeled PDFs in OneDrive and SharePoint

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Edge will now enforce 'Do Not Allow Screen Capture' for sensitivity-labeled PDFs in OneDrive/SharePoint web viewers. This closes a data leakage gap, aligning web and desktop protection for sensitive documents.

The Impact

Organizations using Purview Information Protection will see enhanced data protection for sensitive PDFs, reducing exfiltration risk.

• Security Teams: Reduced risk of sensitive PDF data exfiltration via screen capture.
• End Users: Screen capture functionality will be blocked for protected PDFs in Edge.
• Compliance Teams: Improved adherence to data protection policies for sensitive documents.

The Action

1. Review existing Microsoft Purview Information Protection sensitivity labels for PDFs.
2. Verify 'Do Not Allow Screen Capture' is correctly configured for sensitive PDF labels.
3. Communicate screen capture restrictions to users accessing sensitive PDFs via Edge.
