Opportunities**

Enhanced Data Security and Compliance
With the introduction of full file evidence collection for macOS devices, organizations can enhance their data security and compliance posture by ensuring that all files matching DLP policies are automatically collected and stored securely in Azure. This minimizes the risk of data breaches and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
   - next-steps: Review current DLP policies to ensure they are aligned with organizational compliance needs. Communicate the upcoming changes to users to prepare them for the new data collection processes.

Improved User Awareness and Training
The automatic collection of files that match DLP policies can serve as an opportunity to enhance user awareness regarding data handling and compliance. Organizations can develop training sessions or materials that inform users about the importance of DLP policies and the new functionalities available.
   - next-steps: Develop training content that explains the new feature and its implications for data handling. Schedule training sessions for relevant users and provide updated documentation on DLP policies.
   - roles: Training Coordinators, IT Administrators, HR Managers

Streamlined IT Operations
The automatic nature of the new feature reduces the administrative burden on IT teams, as no manual action is required for rollout or ongoing management. This allows IT staff to focus on more strategic initiatives rather than routine DLP policy enforcement tasks.
   - next-steps: Assess the current workload of IT staff to identify areas where resources can be reallocated. Implement regular reviews of DLP effectiveness and adapt policies as necessary based on the insights gained from the new evidence collection.
