Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Information Protection – Smart Alerts and Alert Spotlighting for admins

Smart Alerts are Out of Box alerts/insights for admins that are system generated and surface the top risks the admins must triage as a priority.

They are not dependent on policies and admins can benefit from these detections even if they don’t have policies in place.
