From the field
Microsoft Learn gives you the full technical reference. We give you the 5-minute version - how things actually work in practice, what to watch out for, and what matters for your business.
Preventing data leaks when employees leave
Insider Risk + DLP caught a departing employee exfiltrating client contracts. Without it, they would have walked out the door with everything.
Copilot surfaces content users forgot they had access to
Copilot respects permissions. That is the problem. Permissions in most tenants are a mess. Users get results from HR sites and salary spreadsheets they were never supposed to see.
Stopping accidental external sharing
An employee shared a board pack with a vendor via Teams. The DLP policy blocked it in real-time and educated the user, with zero IT involvement.
