Data Loss Prevention Policies (DLP)

As administrators control data loss prevention policies, therefore contact your administrator in case of a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy is blocking your flows from running. Every organization’s data is critical for its success. Therefore, data needs to be readily available for decision-making, but it needs to be protected so that it is not shared and does not have access to it. Also, for protecting this data, Power Automate offers the ability to create and enforce policies that define connectors. Hence, policies that define how data can be shared are referred to as data loss prevention (DLP) policies.

We can create data loss prevention (DLP) policies which can act as guardrails for preventing users from accidentally exposing organizational data. Also, DLP policies can be scoped at the environment level or tenant level, offering flexibility to craft sensible policies that strike the right balance between protection and productivity. Also for tenant-level policies we can define the scope to be all environments, selected environments, or all environments except ones you exclude. Moreover, environment-level policies can be defined for one environment at a time.

Some of the important things about Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies include –

• Firstly, Data Loss Prevention policies enforce rules for which connectors can be used together by classifying connectors as Business or Non-Business.
• Also, when we put a connector in the Business group, it can only be used with other connectors from that group in any given app or flow.
• Seldom we may want to block the usage of certain connectors altogether by listing them as Blocked.
• Next, Data Loss Prevention policies are created in the Power Platform admin center.
• Moreover, They affect Power Platform canvas apps and Power Automate flows.
• Lastly, to create a DLP policy, it is required to be a tenant admin or have the Environment Admin role.
