About this learning path
Sensitive data doesn't usually get stolen, it just leaves through an unlocked door: a forwarded email, a USB drive, a pasted paragraph. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention watches those everyday actions across email, SharePoint, OneDrive, and endpoints, and steps in exactly when it matters. It covers how DLP policies are built from locations, conditions, and actions before anything walks out.
