DLP Policy not Working with OCR

Hello Community, i activated the OCR in Microsoft Purview, and scan works fine infact Purview find image that contains sensible data.

I have created DLP Policy that not permit print and move to rdp file that containts "Italy Confidential Data" like "Passport Number, Drivers License ecc..." this policy works for xlsx or word that contains data, but if file word contains image with this data not apply the DLP Rule infact i'm able to print or move into rdp this file also only the jpeg file.

Policy match correctly i see it into "Activity Explorer" Is this behavior correct?

Regards,

Guido

  • I share what i discover in all tests that i made.
    OCR discover data in "Audit" mode for DLP Policy and not enforce DLP even if it performs the match.

    I try to create a Label that match the file with auto-label policies and for this worklods match correctly and label applied correctly.
    I have the image into an word file or in a pdf works, so I think, therefore, that it is normal behavior.

    Regards,
