Organizations today rely on a variety of SaaS applications beyond Microsoft 365, making it increasingly important to protect sensitive data wherever it resides.
Microsoft is addressing this by extending Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and auto-labeling support to supported non-Microsoft applications through Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps connectors.
With this update, administrators can create and manage DLP and auto-labeling policies directly from Microsoft Purview, providing a more unified approach to data protection across cloud applications.
Supported DLP Locations
- Google Workspace
- Box
- Dropbox
- Salesforce
- ServiceNow
- AWS
- Cisco Webex
Supported Auto-Labeling Locations
- Google Workspace
- Box
Rollout Timeline
- Public Preview: Mid-August 2026
- General Availability: Early September to late October 2026
Things to Know
- Connect supported applications using Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
- Turn off or remove existing Defender for Cloud Apps file policies for the same applications before enabling Purview policies to avoid policy conflicts.
- Review Microsoft Purview licensing and At Rest Protection pay-as-you-go pricing before deployment.
This enhancement helps organizations extend Microsoft Purview compliance and data protection capabilities beyond the Microsoft ecosystem, enabling centralized policy management across supported third-party applications.
