Microsoft Purview | Exact Data Match to support up to 500 EDM evaluations

Originally posted by Microsoft Jan 25, 2023 Microsoft 365 suite 0 Comments

We are expanding the number of supported Exact Data Match (EDM) detections from 100 to 500.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 100712.

When this will happen:

Rollout will begin in mid-February and is expected to be complete by end of February 2023. 

How this will affect your organization:

With this update, organizations will be able to configure policies for solutions where EDM is supported, such as Data Loss Prevention, Information Protection, or Records Management, with Min and Max unique instance counts up to 500. This aligns to the instance count supported with other Sensitive Information Types, such as U.S. Social Security Number (SSN). Note that there is no change for the support of the value Any, which remains an option for Max instance count. 

What you need to do to prepare:

No action is needed to enable this capability. You can configure new policies or edit existing policies to specify unique instance counts with a value up to 500.
