Acronym for Data Loss Prevention—stopping sensitive data from leaving through unauthorised channels.
DLP stands for Data Loss Prevention. See 'Data Loss Prevention' for the full definition. Microsoft Purview includes DLP capabilities for Microsoft 365 environments, making DLP accessible to organisations already using Business Premium or E5 licences.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
GDPR and other regulations require appropriate technical measures to protect personal data. DLP is a key control. Microsoft 365 users often have DLP capabilities already available through Purview—they just need configuring.
