When users attempt to send messages containing sensitive information—such as credit card numbers or national IDs—they will receive policy tips or blocking dialogs, depending on how the policy is configured. This change enhances your organization’s data protection posture and supports regulatory compliance. If DLP policies are already in place for Outlook desktop or web, no additional configuration is required. The feature is on by default and requires no admin action to enable.
