Can we deploy o365 dlp for disttibution groups and for specific mailboxes?

Thanks

Hi @Marvin Oco

See section Locations in this article

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/securitycompliance/data-loss-prevention-policies

From Exchange Online perspective it is all users and groups. No exceptions or just adding it to single groups/users. With SharePoint you can exclude sites and with OneDrive you can exclude user accounts - up to 100 per policy.

Hope that answers your question.

Best, Chris

HI @Christopher Hoard i tried to create policy , there is option to include/exclude DGs in exchange.

What is in scope here? does it mean that all mailboxes who are member of DGs will also be scanned by DLP?

My understanding is that all the mailboxes in the DG will be scanned, but it's not well documented in the article mentioned by Chris

Ah ok @Marvin Oco - that's good to know. I agree with Juan that AFAIK all mailboxes are scanned.

Best, Chris
