Microsoft has introduced a new feature in Outlook Mobile that enhances data loss prevention (DLP) by providing policy tips. This feature is like having a helpful assistant that gently reminds you when you might be about to share something sensitive, ensuring you stay within your organization's guidelines.

Imagine you're writing an email on your phone, and you're about to send out confidential information. The DLP policy tip acts like a friendly nudge, similar to when your phone reminds you to take an umbrella because it might rain. It alerts you in real-time, giving you a chance to reconsider or adjust the content before hitting send. This proactive approach helps maintain compliance with your organization's data protection policies without disrupting your workflow.

The feature is available on both Android and iOS devices, making it accessible for users across different platforms. It's integrated into the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, which means it works seamlessly with other compliance tools your organization might be using. This integration ensures that your mobile communication aligns with the same standards and protections as your desktop interactions.

Overall, the DLP policy tip support in Outlook Mobile is a practical tool for helping users avoid accidental data breaches, providing peace of mind and supporting compliance efforts across the board.
