How to stop sharing .pdf documents shared with outside domains in OneDrive

Hi All,

 

I have come across below experience and appreciate anyone can suggest to overcome the issue.

 

I have created DLP policy to prevent sharing documents in OneDrive classified as Internal. the policy is working fine as expecting for office documents, however, the same document convert into .pdf and upload to OneDrive, then we could share this .pdf version with outside users.

 

I would appreciate if anyone can point out if I miss something here.

 

Please also note that, the same policy have linked with Exchange and policy is working fine with both .pdf and office files. documents classified as Internal won't be emailed to outside users even documents are in .pdf. 

 

again, just to troubleshoot, I have created another DLP policy including sensitive info type (ex: credit card info) and configured to prevent share documents in OneDrive containing credit card info with outside users. this policy is also working fine with both .pdf and office files.

 

appreciate the help here.

thanks,

Dilan
