summary for non-techies**

Microsoft Purview's compliance portal now allows OCR to focus only on monitoring outgoing emails, optimizing security processes and reducing costs by not checking internal or incoming emails.

Direct effects for Operations**

Increased Risk of Data Leakage
Restricting OCR to only external emails may lead to unmonitored internal communications, increasing the risk of sensitive data being leaked internally without detection.
