It is challenging for a business to comply with business standards and industry regulations. They need to protect sensitive information and prevent its inadvertent disclosure. Imagine if your organizations financial data or personally identifiable information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or health records were leaked. With a data loss prevention policy in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center, you can identify, monitor, and automatically protect sensitive information across Office 365. Your business is vulnerable without data loss prevention rules.
