DLP policy can apply for E1 license ?
- Feb 13, 2019
Hi Tien Ngo Thanh,
1.) DLP cannot be applied to E1 licences. DLP needs a plan with Exchange Online Plan 2. See Office 365 service description here
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/office-365-platform-service-description
2.) Yes, however there is the caveat that DLP does cover mail sent between on premise users. See article
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/security-and-compliance/data-loss-prevention/data-loss-prevention
3.) Yes, confirmed in this Technet article

Hope that answers your questions

-> If So instead-of create DLP policy then I can create Rule email to it apply for all user ? and also will apply E1
Hi Tien Ngo Thanh,
The DLP policy will be applied org-wide in the security and compliance centre, however, as the service description states it shouldn't apply explicitly to the users with the E1 licences when doing DLP checks. It would be very interesting to discover if it did, because that would actually contradict the service agreement.

So although i has create rule mail with sensitive infomation then if user assign E1 then this rule will not scan ?

I just create DLP policy (not rule) and test with E1 license seem it work with policy .so then it can apply E1 and E3
- Feb 14, 2019Hi Tien Ngo Thanh,
If you have tested it, and it works with a user with E1 and experiencing exactly what you get with E3 then I guess it works and it resolves your issue! However, just a caveat that if, for some reason, you have an issue then Microsoft may not support it if it deviates from the service terms.
Best, Chris
