Office 365 DLP effectivity

How long will it take for a DLP policy to take effect once you turn it on? Thanks

    As per article within 1 hour

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/office365/securitycompliance/create-test-tune-dlp-policy

    'Your new DLP policy will begin to take effect within about 1 hour. You can sit and wait for it to be triggered by normal user activity, or you can try to trigger it yourself. Earlier I linked to this topic on sensitive information types, which provides you with information about how to trigger DLP matches'

    Hope that answers your question!

    Best, Chris
