Summary:
Microsoft Purview DLP in Edge for Business will extend inline protections to more unmanaged GenAI apps, allowing admins to apply existing data loss prevention policies on Intune-managed Windows devices. This update, requiring no extra deployment, enhances data security and compliance reporting starting public preview in November 2025.
Details:
[Introduction:]
We are expanding inline protections for uploads in Microsoft Edge for Business to cover more unmanaged consumer generative AI (GenAI) apps. With this update, admins can apply Microsoft Purview collection policies and Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to detect and prevent sensitive data sharing in the Edge browser when users interact with these additional unmanaged app locations. Inline protections are built directly into Edge for Business and work for users on Intune-managed Windows devices. This enhancement complements existing capabilities, giving organizations greater flexibility to enforce data security controls across a broader set of GenAI apps.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 518643.
[When this will happen:]
Public Preview: Begins mid-November 2025, expected to complete by early December 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide): Begins in early December 2025 and is expected to complete by the end of the month.
