Microsoft Information Protection: Feedback Loop for Content explorer and DLP alerts

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 29, 2022 Microsoft 365 suite 0 Comments

We’re introducing a compliant feedback mechanism to enable admins to report false positives for sensitive information types (SITs) and trainable classifiers detected and reported in Content explorer and DLP Alerts (non-legacy alerts). This Feedback Loop will improve the overall accuracy of SITs and trainable classifiers as it enables Microsoft to make systematic improvements in the product to reduce future false positives.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 93210.

When this will happen:

Preview: will begin in late April and is expected to be complete by mid-May.

Standard: will begin in mid-May and is expected to be complete by mid-June.

How this will affect your organization:

Currently, it can be difficult to assess the accuracy of classifiers when there are false positives and reporting false positives to Microsoft often involves sharing examples offline which is inconvenient and could risk exposing sensitive information. To address this challenge, we’re introducing Feedback Loop to seamlessly allow compliance admins to share feedback on policy mismatches in a compliant manner. This feature will be enabled for Content explorer and for DLP Alerts (non-legacy alerts).

Feedback Loop experience in Content explorer

In the Microsoft 365 compliance center, admins can go to Content explorer > Contextual Summary to easily review classifier matches for a given file and mark them as true or false positives. Note: The contextual summary displays a limited set of matches and may not reflect the complete set of matches found on the item.

On the SIT overview page for a given classifier, admins can also provide feedback and see a summary of feedback submitted on the Feedback results tab.

No action is needed to enable this optional feature.
