2025-11-12MC How AffectWho is affected:
Microsoft tenants with access to Microsoft 365 Copilot (free and paid), including E1, E3, and E5 license holders.
Admins managing Microsoft Purview DLP policies for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Note: Licensing rollout will complete by December 2025. By then, all tenants will have access to this feature regardless of license tier.
What will happen:
Admins can configure DLP policies in the Microsoft Purview portal to restrict Copilot from processing prompts containing selected sensitive information types (SITs), including default and custom SITs.
Prompts containing sensitive data will not receive Copilot responses and will not be used for external web search or internal Microsoft Graph grounding.
Admins can also view DLP policy recommendations for Microsoft 365 Copilot in Data Security Posture Management:

Important: At this time, DLP for Copilot policies do not support enforcement based on sensitive information types (SITs). Hence, no users will be impacted under SIT-based conditions. Admins need to create a new policy to enforce DLP for Copilot prompt based on SIT.
