Ignoring the contents of an email attachment
I have an insurance customer who sends emails to clients that have PDS documents attached. These documents aren't sensitive but they do contain terms that trigger medical related DLP policies which...
One thought, you could consider using sensitivity label encryption instead of DLP to allow different permissions for different groups when PDS documents are identified.
Thanks for your reply, we ended up coming up with the following possible solutions.
1. Create a custom medical SIT and have it ignore instances if they are near the word 'PDS'.
2. Create an additional, higher precedence rule in the policy with the condition that a document with the word 'PDS' in it exists, but increase the medical term instance count. Subsequent rules would look for just the medical terms with the standard number of instances.
3. Change the business process and link to a hosted version of the PDS rather than attaching it to the email.
