Azure Files & DLP

Hi there

Can anyone tell me if I migrate an on-premise SMB fileshare to Azure Files is it possible to run DLP policies on the Azure fileshare.

 

Thanks 

Michael

    Hi,
    I have also been researching the same issue that Michael is looking into and would be very interested in finding out what DLP/AIP options are applicable to Azure File Shares.
    Thanks,
    Dan.

    No official document as such that DLP, however, Azure Files supports identity-based authentication over Server Message Block (SMB) through on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS).

    1) Enable identity-based authentication
    2) Configure share-level permissions for Azure Files
    3) Configure directory or file-level permissions for Azure Files
    4) Use the storage account key for superuser permissions
