Abstract:
Data loss prevention (DLP) systems may be implemented with collaborative services that may be integrated with or work in coordination with productivity services. Administrators may be enabled to configure DLP policies in the collaborative service to mitigate their organization's information disclosure risks, along with the detection and remediation of sensitive information. Access blocking may be a feature of the DLP system, where provision of access blocking may include determining if a detected action associated with content processed by the collaborative service matches access blocking criteria defined by DIP policy rules. In response to the determination that the action matches at least one access blocking criterion defined by the DLP policy rules, a block access tag associated with the content may be activated, previously defined permissions associated with the content may be ignored or altered, and access to the content may be restricted to a number of predefined users.
