Microsoft Viva: Viva Amplify - Video templates

🚨 The Signal: Viva Amplify now includes video templates for internal communications. This change increases the ease of distributing video content, potentially amplifying the spread of unapproved or sensitive information if not properly governed.

The Impact

Content publishers and security teams are affected by the increased risk of sensitive information exposure through easily shareable video content.

• Content publishers face increased risk of inadvertently sharing sensitive data.
• Security teams must address new vectors for information disclosure and compliance breaches.
• Compliance officers need to update policies for video content governance.
• Organisations face potential reputational damage from uncontrolled video dissemination.

The Action

1. Review and update existing content governance policies to specifically address video content in Viva Amplify.
2. Implement or reinforce data loss prevention (DLP) policies to detect and prevent sharing of sensitive information in video formats.
3. Educate content creators on responsible video publishing, emphasizing data classification and sensitivity.
4. Monitor Viva Amplify usage for unusual video content sharing patterns using Microsoft Purview audit logs.
5. Configure appropriate access controls and publishing workflows within Viva Amplify to limit who can publish video content.
