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.

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.

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.
