Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Insider Risk Management – Forensic evidence (U.S. Government clouds)

The forensic evidence capability is an opt-in add-in to Insider Risk Management, helping customers’ security teams get visual insights into potentially risky user actions that might lead to a data security incident. Forensic evidence is off by default and policy creation requires dual authorization. Customers determine what triggers the feature and manage investigation processes. 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 to manage security and compliance. 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.

Updated Experience for Office Document Conflict Resolution in OneDrive Sync

We have updated the experience to resolve Office document conflicts in the OneDrive sync app. 

Previously, clicking the “Resolve” action on a conflict would require the user to choose between opening the file in the Office desktop app to merge changes or keeping both versions of the file (forking the document and appending the computer’s name to the forked file). After this change, the user can only open the document with a conflict in Office to merge the changes. The option to fork the document will be removed.

Outlook: Support for offline search without Spotlight dependency

iOS’s offline search implementation relies on Spotlight (Apple’s local search index). In some cases, Intune policy can block the use of Spotlight, which will completely disable offline search for users.

We are adding support for offline search even if your company’s Intune policy blocks use of Spotlight.

Microsoft Purview Information Protection: Tracking and Revocation

Tracking and revocation provides admins and end-users greater control over local files. When an end-user protects their local file with an encrypted sensitivity label, they enable the tracking and revocation feature.

With this feature, the file owner and admin of the organization can view user access attempts to the file and whether they were successful. If needed, the file owner or admin can revoke access to the file.
