Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Information Protection - Enhanced Classification Support for Thai Language in Endpoint

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Purview now automatically adds spaces to Thai language keywords for Endpoint DLP, significantly improving the accuracy of sensitive information type (SIT) detection and classification for Thai content. This enhances data protection for organisations handling Thai language data.

The Impact

Organisations with Thai language data are affected, reducing the risk of sensitive information exposure.

• Security Teams: Reduced risk of data exfiltration for Thai content.
• Compliance Officers: Improved accuracy in data classification and policy enforcement.
• Data Owners: Enhanced protection for sensitive Thai language information.
• Admins: Less manual effort for fine-tuning Thai language SITs.

The Action

1. Review existing Purview Sensitive Information Types (SITs) that target Thai language content to confirm improved accuracy.
2. Consider creating new SITs for Thai language if previous limitations prevented effective classification.
3. Monitor Purview DLP alerts for Thai content to validate the enhanced detection capabilities.
4. Communicate improved Thai language data protection capabilities to relevant stakeholders.
