Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 3, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Currently available in public preview, we’re rolling out several new classifiers for Communication Compliance to assist you in detecting various types of workplace policy violations.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 93253, 93254, 93255, 93256, 93257, 93258.

When this will happen:

Rollout will begin in mid-March and is expected to be complete by end of April. 

How this will affect your organization:

The following new classifiers will soon be generally available for use with your Communication Compliance policies:

• Corporate sabotage: Detects messages that may mention acts to damage or destroy corporate assets or property. This classifier can help customers manage regulatory compliance obligations such as NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards or state by state regulations like Chapter 9.05 RCW in Washington state.
• Gifts & entertainment: Detects messages that may suggest exchanging gifts or entertainment in return for service, which violates regulations related to bribery. This classifier can help customers manage regulatory compliance obligations such as Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UK Bribery Act, and FINRA Rule 2320.
• Money laundering: Detects signs that may suggest money laundering or engagement in acts to conceal or disguise the origin or destination of proceeds. This classifier can help customers manage regulatory compliance obligations such as the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act, FINRA Rule 3310 and Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020.
• Regulatory collusion: Detects messages that may violate regulatory anti-collusion requirements such as an attempted concealment of sensitive information. This classifier can help customers manage regulatory compliance obligations such as the Sherman Antitrust Act, Securities Exchange Act 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Federal Commission Act, and Robinson-Patman Act.
• Stock manipulation: Detects signs of possible stock manipulation, such as recommendations to buy, sell, or hold stocks that may suggest an attempt to manipulate the stock price. This classifier can help customers manage regulatory compliance obligations such as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, FINRA Rule 2372, and FINRA Rule 5270.
• Unauthorized disclosure: Detects sharing of information containing content that is explicitly designated as confidential or internal to unauthorized individuals. This classifier can help customers manage regulatory compliance obligations such as FINRA Rule 2010 and SEC Rule 10b-5. This classifier can help customers manage regulatory compliance obligations such as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, FINRA Rule 2372, and FINRA Rule 5270.
