Microsoft rolls out DLP to SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business
Microsoft has extended the data loss prevention features in Office 365 so that they are available not only for its email tools but also for data in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business.
Office 365 already had DLP capabilities for Exchange Online and Outlook, so that compliance officers could monitor email communications and enforce corporate and regulatory rules regarding the use of sensitive corporate data, such as confidential intellectual property details and customers' financial information.
On Wednesday, Microsoft announced that it's now taking its "first steps for DLP" in Office 365's SharePoint Online collaboration server and its OneDrive for Business cloud storage service for employees.
