Built-in DLP content inspection engine retirement

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 6, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

We are retiring the ability to configure new policies with the Built-in DLP engine from Defender for Cloud Apps/file policy configuration starting March 2023. Instead, we recommend the utilization of DCS (Data Classification Service) content inspection engine, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources.  This engine is Purview’s content engine and will bring the best capabilities for our users.  

When this will happen:

We will be rolling this out starting in mid-March and expect to complete by late March.

How this affects your organization:

You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates your organization may be affected by this change.

Note – active file policies containing Built-in DLP will continue to work as expected, though – we highly recommend our users to start shifting all policies to use the DCS engine.  

Administrators will no longer be able to configure new policies with the Built-in DLP engine, when this change is implemented.

What you need to do to prepare:

Instead of using Built-in DLP content inspection engine in file policies, we recommend using DCS.
