Microsoft 365 compliance center: Microsoft Purview | Communication Compliance – Corporate sabotage classifier

The sabotage classifier detects messages that explicitly mention acts to deliberately destroy, damage, or destruct corporate assets or property. Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance helps organizations detect explicit code of conduct and regulatory compliance violations, such as harassing or threatening language, sharing of adult content, and inappropriate sharing of sensitive information. Built with privacy by design, usernames are pseudonymized by default, role-based access controls are built in, investigators are explicitly opted in by an admin, and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
