Microsoft 365 Groups in Teams DLP policy will now automatically include 1:1 and group chats for protection, without needing to add users or groups manually, except when using OCR. Rollout begins late August 2024, with completion by late September 2024. Admins should review their Teams DLP policies in preparation.
OneDrive is updating storage policies for business and enterprise unlicensed accounts, effective late January to March 2025.

This feature will now allow event organizers to set sensitivity labels for town halls and webinars. These labels are visible to organizers when creating an event instance once selected, and notify organizers if the details of the event being created are not valid for the selected sensitivity.

Your organization can now disable connected experiences for privacy concerns without impacting data security policies, such as sensitivity labels. Services associated with Microsoft Purview (e.g. sensitivity labels and rights management) are no longer controlled by policy settings to manage privacy controls for Microsoft 365 Apps. Instead, these services will rely on their existing security admin controls in Purview portals.
Insider Risk Management Priority user groups will now support bulk upload capabilities. An IRM administrator will be able to upload a CSV of UPNs that they would like to add to a new or existing priority user group. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
