What to expect with data loss prevention (DLP)

Files are automatically scanned for sensitive information:

Inbound emails: Email is received with a warning banner on top.
*Outbound emails: Email is allowed and will be encrypted by Microsoft.

Company policy dictates you must include “-encrypt” (without the quotes) in the subject line of emails requiring encryption. The automatic detection and encryption should only serve as a final safeguard in case you forget to add “-encrypt” in the subject line.

*Requires correct Microsoft 365 and ETS email security license.
