Communication Compliance: Reduce detection to investigation time from 24 hours to 1 hour (preview)

Coming soon to public preview, we’re reducing detection to investigation time to enable your organization to respond promptly to Communication Compliance policy violations.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 88915.

When this will happen:

Rollout will begin in late May and is expected to be complete by mid-June.

How this will affect your organization:

Once you’ve configured Communication Compliance policies, you’ll start to receive alerts in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal for message issues that match your policy conditions. With this feature update, alerts are surfaced within one hour of policy match detection rather than the standard 24-hour alert timeframe. This update will enable your organization to respond promptly to policy violations.

Alerts will be reviewed by a policy investigator, who is explicitly granted permission to review policy alerts by the Communication Compliance admin role. In the Communication Compliance policy dashboard, policies with reduced latency will show “1 hour ago” as the time listed in the “Last policy scan” column.

What you need to do to prepare:
