Planner: Information Barrier support in Planner

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Planner now supports Information Barriers, enabling organisations to restrict access to plans and tasks based on user groups. This prevents data leakage and enforces internal policies by limiting visibility and collaboration to authorised segments.

The Impact

Security teams and compliance officers are affected by new data segregation capabilities, reducing the risk of unauthorised information access.

• Security teams: New controls to prevent data leakage.
• Compliance officers: Improved ability to meet regulatory mandates.
• Admins: New configuration options for Planner security.
• End-users: Collaboration restricted based on policy.

The Action

1. Review existing Information Barrier policies in Microsoft Purview.
2. Identify Planner plans requiring Information Barrier enforcement.
3. Configure Information Barrier segments and policies to include Planner.
4. Test Planner Information Barrier policies with pilot user groups.
5. Communicate changes to affected user groups regarding Planner access.
