Separate Triggers and Actions in Data Loss Prevention Policies

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

In my company, we use separate Data Loss Prevention Policies in separate environments. We often have the case that we would like to restrict Flow triggers more than flow actions.

 

E.g. in our default environment we would like to allow only SharePoint triggers but not Outlook triggers, because we suspect misuse of Power Automate as extended personal Outlook rule machine, which could quickly eat up our monthly Flow contingent. Outlook actions, though, should be possible inside a flow to inform people via e-mail.

 

In another environment - for corporate communication - we would possibly allow Twitter as a trigger to start flows on messages about our company, but we would not allow further Twitter actions, especially not posting to Twitter...

 

To date this is not possible - if the actions are in "Business Data allowed", the triggers are too. Thus we would like to see a separation between triggers and actions in the Data Loss Prevention Policies.

    Thank you for you for these clarifications. This is definitely something we would be willing to consider for future enhancements to DLP.

     

    I would like to suggest that you enter ideas like these into the ideas forum. From flow you can reach it by using the question mark in the header area near your photo, and selecting Give feedback.

     

    Using the ideas forum will facilitate our prioritization because others will upvote your ideas, and we will be able to tell how popular an ask is.

     

    Thank you again for your time, and patience as we evolve DLP capabilities,

    Audrie
