Dynamics 365 Sales: Seller experiences - Streamline Quick Campaigns for confident, one-time bulk email outreach

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Sales now streamlines bulk email campaigns, allowing sellers to create and send emails with fewer steps and direct template editing. This increases the risk of unapproved or malicious bulk communications.

The Impact

Sales users are affected by increased ease of bulk email, raising risks of unapproved communications and data exfiltration.

• Sales users: Increased risk of sending unapproved marketing or phishing-like emails.
• Security teams: Greater challenge in monitoring and preventing data exfiltration via bulk email.
• Compliance teams: Difficulty ensuring adherence to communication policies and data handling standards.
• Organisations: Potential for reputational damage from uncontrolled bulk email campaigns.

The Action

1. Review and update existing Dynamics 365 Sales security roles and privileges related to Quick Campaigns and bulk email sending.
2. Implement or reinforce Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies in Microsoft Purview to monitor and restrict sensitive data in outbound emails from Dynamics 365.
3. Conduct user training for Dynamics 365 Sales users on acceptable use policies for bulk email and template management.
4. Audit existing email templates in Dynamics 365 to ensure they meet organisational communication and security standards.
5. Configure transport rules in Exchange Online to flag or block suspicious bulk emails originating from Dynamics 365.
