Ensure DLP policies are enabled
Why This Matters
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies help prevent accidental exposure of sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, or passwords across Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. Without enabled DLP policies, your organization faces increased risk of data leaks that could lead to compliance violations, financial penalties, and reputational damage. Enabling DLP policies ensures both users and administrators receive alerts when sensitive data is at risk.
What Aether365 Checks
Aether365 verifies that DLP policies are actively enabled for your Microsoft 365 tenant, appearing as a security check in the Aether365 dashboard under microsoft-365 checks. This check confirms that data loss prevention is configured to scan and protect sensitive content across Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Teams.
