Blocking Personal Outlook and Gmail Accounts on Corporate Device
I am not sure how either of the above solutions will block access to Hotmail or Outlook.com
- Conditional Access Policy - May I know what conditions will you use to block personal email using Conditional Access policy?
- What App will you use for Hotmail or Outlook.com in your Access policy?
- Please if you can tell me the configuration for DLP or Purview Policy?
In Entra, you use the Web Content filtering policy (see below) > You will need to create a new policy (my demo account does not have it) this is the guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/global-secure-access/how-to-configure-web-content-filtering
Then you can add the domains that you'd like to block within the rules.
For Microsoft Purview, it's more of blocking sensitive data from being uploaded/ used in specific cloud domains, think of it as an extra measure to ensure that your users will not be able to upload to Hotmail or Gmail. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/endpoint-dlp-using?tabs=purview#scenario-3-modify-the-existing-policy-block-the-action-with-allow-override
Thanks for the update but web filtering policies are part of Entra Internet Access which is an addon and needs additional licensing.
Also, will blocking Hotmail also block access to Outlook.com because now personal Microsoft mail domain is outlook and if we block it, it also blocks the Outlook web access for corporate email.
