Data loss prevention (DLP) tools in Microsoft 365 work cross-tenant so that you can protect your data as it moves from service to service. In this chapter, you'll learn how to configure policies and settings so that they match your organization's security and compliance requirements. For example, you may have a scenario in which you need to prevent any payment card industry (PCI) data from leaving the organization. DLP policies can help you meet that requirement.
In this chapter, we will cover the following exam topics:
- Configuring DLP policies
- Designing data retention policies in Microsoft 365
- Monitoring and managing DLP policy matches
- Managing DLP exceptions
Let's begin by configuring DLP policies.
