M365 Changelog: Announcing the General Availability of Power Platform’s latest Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities

MC357303 – Power Platform has invested heavily in extending its Data Loss Prevention (DLP) offering, and Microsoft is pleased to announce the general availability of two advanced capabilities, DLP connector action controls and DLP for custom connectors, that will provide administrators with a level of control that is unmatched in the industry.

What can I accomplish with these capabilities?
DLP connector action control enables admins to easily allow/block specific connector actions for each connector. For example, you could block the Delete row (V2) action for the SQL Server connector.

DLP for custom connectors enables admins to apply well known DLP constructs – like connector classification (business, non-business, blocked) – to a newer breed of connectors named custom connectors.

Important!
DLP connector endpoint filtering remains in Public Preview and we’ve postponed the general availability originally announced for March 31st, 2022. Microsoft will notify you when a new date has been scheduled and you can learn more about the feature here.

Where can I learn more?
Microsoft is confident that this new set of advanced DLP capabilities will help your organization strike a balance between productivity and protection.
