Disable Delve for a group of people

Hi,   Is there any option to disable or hide Delve for a group of people so that they should not be able to use Delve search or org unit info or hierarchy or content discovery? I need this feature ...

I really hope that Microsoft is picking up on this requirement very soon. With GDPR coming up we really need a way to block certain users from Delve/Graph searches, or as prashantguptag is suggesting, grouping external business partners in their own director/directories in Office 365 / Azure AD.

 

If this is not addressed we are forced to disable Delve in order to become compliant. There is no way we can argue the need to share an entire tenant directory with every single user of SharePoint (including our external partners), it is simply not a responsible way to share our users data.

 

For anyone who wants to have this address, please vote on https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/273487-delve/suggestions/12356592-enable-delve-for-specific-users-groups-only

    I could be wrong but I don't see this happening in regards to selectively choosing who is enabled for Delve/Office Graph.  It's been talked about elsewhere that having more choice is needed for these sorts of requirements you are talking about but there isn't any indication this is changing.  Either way, it would be good to get an official response to this scenario and any particular guidance.
