Demonstrate data protection

Protection of personal information in Microsoft 365 includes using data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. With DLP policies, you can automatically protect sensitive information across Microsoft 365.

There are multiple ways you can apply the protection. Educating and raising awareness to where EU resident data is stored in your environment and how your employees are permitted to handle it represents one level of information protection using Office 365 DLP.

In this phase, you create a new DLP policy and demonstrate how it gets applied to the IBANs.docx file you stored in SharePoint Online in Phase 2 and when you attempt to send an email containing IBANs.

From the Security & Compliance tab of your browser, click Home.

In Name your policy, provide the following details and then click Next: a. Name: EU Citizen PII Policy b. Description: Protect the personally identifiable information of European citizens
