Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Communication Compliance - Enhanced Policy Conditions

🚨 The Signal: Purview Communication Compliance now detects external email sharing, supports 'OR' logic for policies, and allows policy condition testing. This enhances data loss prevention and compliance monitoring capabilities.

The Impact

Security teams and compliance officers are affected, gaining better tools to prevent data exfiltration and ensure regulatory adherence.

• Security Teams: Enhanced ability to detect sensitive data leaving the organisation.
• Compliance Officers: More granular control over policy definitions to meet regulatory needs.
• Data Owners: Reduced risk of unauthorised sharing of their information.
• Legal Teams: Better evidence collection for investigations and eDiscovery.

The Action

1. Navigate to Microsoft Purview compliance portal > Communication Compliance.
2. Review existing policies for opportunities to incorporate external recipient detection.
3. Utilise the new 'OR' condition capability to refine policy logic for complex scenarios.
4. Test new or updated policy conditions with sample messages before full deployment.
5. Document updated policies and their rationale for audit purposes.
