DLP Policy Slow to Screen New Files in OneDrive For Business and SharePoint Online
Thank you for your reply. This is unfortunate, as my organization is a financial institution. We value DLP over user productivity because the data we have simply can't get leaked. It seems the only way to guarantee that sensitive data won't get shared is to keep it on premise. Hopefully Microsoft will introduce a feature that can disallow sharing until DLP clears a document.
Well if memory serves, the document will get locked upon detecting any DLP policy matches, so even if it was shared during that short interval, it will not be accessable by external users.
- Hi, I know this is more than 3 years old but we have the same situation.
I tried what you said and it does not do this. The external user is able to access the "illegal" content that was leaked.
So if someone is quick enough to share a file that has a big list of SSNs, the external user can access the content of that file without a problem.
This is a big security concern...Yes, this is a huge security issue. Not only has it not improved, but MS seems content to spend it time rebranding things. Now we have security tags. These tags have the same flaw.
To make matters worse, I have an environment that has Windows 10, Mac OS, IOS, etc. The encryption features that follow a document depend on Azure Information Protection. The client is built into office now.
Unfortunately, the office client does not have the encryption code. After speaking with MS support, the encryption features are in the Windows OS. So security in Azure/O365 is for Windows-only, it isn't real time, and in my opinion is not a serious contender in the security space.
- This is very unfortunate to read. Chances are we may have to re-check if we want to stick with O365 or move to something else since we can't rely on their DLP policies when it comes to tagging new sensitive files.
Thank you for letting me know.
