Data Loss Prevention – Admin Units support for DLP alerts in Microsoft 365 Defender portal

We’re recently released a new GA capability that enables admins to delegate management and remediation authority for different people in different regions or organization units with role-based access control (RBAC) via Azure Active Directory Administrative Units. For example, German Admin Unit investigators would be able to investigate alerts and audit events for only German users.

With the GA rollout of this new feature, we are extending the Admin Units capability currently available in Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to DLP alerts in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal.

Second, admins can manage apps for users, groups, or everyone in the organization. This feature replaces the existing app permission policies and provides admins with the ability to manage access to the app individually.

Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Insider Risk Management- Browsed to generative AI websites indicator

With this update, we are adding a new indicator, “browsed to generative AI sites,” for the risky browser usage policy template, giving visibility into organizational usage of generative AI domains. User information is pseudonymized by default with strong privacy controls in place
to protect end user trust.

While visiting one of these AI domains may be authorized by an organization, this indicator is designed to help ensure they are correctly accounting for whether and how, these sites may be accessed in policies.

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 based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. 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.
