Microsoft has introduced a new feature for Outlook Mobile that helps prevent the accidental sharing of sensitive information. This feature is part of their data loss prevention (DLP) measures and is designed to work in real-time on mobile devices. Think of it like a friendly reminder that pops up when you're about to send an email containing sensitive information, similar to how a seatbelt reminder alerts you before driving off.

Imagine you're writing an email on your phone and you accidentally include confidential information, like a client's private details or a financial report. The DLP policy tip acts like a helpful assistant, giving you a nudge to double-check before hitting send. This ensures that you comply with your organization's data protection policies, much like how a GPS helps you stay on the right route during a road trip.

This feature is part of Microsoft Purview's compliance tools, which are designed to help organizations manage and protect their data across various platforms. By integrating these alerts into Outlook Mobile, Microsoft aims to make it easier for users to adhere to data protection policies, even when they're on the go. It's like having a personal security guard for your emails, ensuring that sensitive information doesn't slip through the cracks.
