Microsoft Purview: Data Loss Prevention – DLP support for Fabric warehouses

Microsoft Purview is expanding Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to support Microsoft Fabric warehouses starting February 2026. Existing DLP policies will automatically include warehouse data without changes or user impact. This enhances data security and compliance, with no action required from organizations. Introduction We’re expanding Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Microsoft Fabric to include support for Fabric warehouses. DLP for Fabric is already generally available and helps organizations detect and protect sensitive data stored in structured data within OneLake. With this update, existing DLP policies can now extend protection to warehouse data, strengthening your organization’s overall data security and compliance posture. When this will happen General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in early February 2026 and is expected to complete by late February 2026. How this affects your organization Who is affected: Organizations using Microsoft Fabric with DLP policies scoped to Fabric and Power BI in Microsoft Purview, including organizations that use Fabric warehouses. Fabric warehouses are SQL-based analytical databases within Microsoft Fabric that store structured data for reporting, analytics, and business intelligence and are fully integrated with OneLake and other Fabric workloads. What will happen: Existing DLP policies scoped to the Fabric and Power BI location will automatically begin scanning and evaluating Fabric warehouses in included workspaces. Admins who monitor DLP policies or billing will see warehouse objects included in the protected asset count in the Microsoft Purview pay-as-you-go invoice. No changes will be made to existing policy configurations. The feature will be enabled by default as it becomes available to your tenant. There is no impact on user workflows. What you can do to prepare No action is required.You may review existing policies or inform billing and compliance stakeholders of the updated protected asset coverage. Compliance considerations No compliance considerations identified. Review as appropriate for your organization.
