Data Loss Prevention

Name: Microsoft Data Loss Prevention licensing, deployment and management
Brand: Microsoft

Unified DLP across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and cloud from one policy.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention protects sensitive data everywhere it lives and moves — email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, endpoints, and cloud apps — from a single, unified policy. It identifies, monitors, and controls sensitive information to prevent accidental and malicious leaks. Faltrox builds and tunes the policy and operates it as managed data loss prevention.

Talk to an expert How we deliver it

Overview

What Data Loss Prevention is

Sensitive data moves across email, chat, files, endpoints, and cloud apps, and protecting it with separate tools for each channel is inconsistent and leaves gaps. Microsoft Purview DLP takes a unified approach: one policy engine that identifies, monitors, and protects sensitive data across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and cloud apps.

It uses built-in and custom sensitive information types, trainable classifiers, and integration with sensitivity labels to detect regulated and proprietary data, then applies protective actions — block, warn, encrypt, or audit — consistently across email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Windows and macOS endpoints, and cloud apps via Defender for Cloud Apps. Policy tips coach users at the point of action. Faltrox builds and tunes the classification and policy and operates it as managed data loss prevention.

04
Protect
Actions block, warn, encrypt, or audit at the point of leak, with policy tips to coach users.
05
Operate
Faltrox builds and tunes the classification and policy and operates it as managed DLP.

FAQ

Common questions

01What makes Purview DLP "unified"?

One policy engine covers email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, endpoints, and cloud apps — so you write a policy once and it is enforced consistently everywhere sensitive data moves, rather than running separate DLP tools per channel with inconsistent results.

02Does it cover endpoints as well as Microsoft 365?

Yes — Endpoint DLP controls sensitive data on Windows and macOS devices (copy to USB, upload, print, and more), and cloud-app DLP extends coverage to cloud apps via Defender for Cloud Apps — so the same policy covers the full data lifecycle.

03How does it identify sensitive data?

Through built-in and custom sensitive information types, trainable classifiers, and integration with Information Protection sensitivity labels — so it detects regulated data (like PII and payment data) and your own proprietary information.

04Does it stop accidental leaks too, not just malicious?

Yes — it prevents both accidental leaks and deliberate exfiltration, and policy tips coach users at the point of action so they learn why something was blocked, reducing accidental leaks over time.

05How does Faltrox operate it?

We build and tune the classification and DLP policy to your data, deploy it across channels and endpoints, and operate the incidents — delivering unified data loss prevention as a managed service integrated with the rest of your Purview and Microsoft security.
