Microsoft Purview: Data Loss Prevention - Rule-based tagging and auto-resolution of alerts based on business needs of the customer.
Alert auto-resolution & tagging rules let you tell DLP, in advance, how to handle predictable alerts. You define a rule once, and from then on DLP applies it automatically to every new alert: ● Resolve alerts you don't need to see - e.g., Low-severity alerts for mail sent only to

What it is
Microsoft Purview: Data Loss Prevention - Rule-based tagging and auto-resolution of alerts based on business needs of the customer. is a Microsoft 365 roadmap item published via Microsoft Release Communications. Current status: In development.
What it does
Alert auto-resolution & tagging rules let you tell DLP, in advance, how to handle predictable alerts. You define a rule once, and from then on DLP applies it automatically to every new alert: ● Resolve alerts you don't need to see - e.g., Low-severity alerts for mail sent only to your trusted partner domains, so they never reach your triage queue. ● Tag alerts so you can find and route them - e.g., label every alert from your Legal department as a “Business Process”.
Why you should care
Board
Security/compliance control — fund Steady before more seats.
CISO
Prioritise as Steady control; wire into IR and GRC evidence paths.
CFO
Map licence or consumption impact to the frozen value case; avoid seat spray.
Adoption
Pilot with a named cohort and measure changed work, not vanity clicks.
Suggested action
Wave 0 first: Security → GRC → Cost & Value → Licence → Adoption. Add to Horizon watchlist with an owner. Pilot only after Steady controls for the affected surface are in place.
12 Panes: 03 Horizon · 04 Security
Communication needed
- Security: Lead review; confirm control mapping before enablement.
- GRC: Update AI/agent register and evidence path; confirm DPIA triggers if personal data is in scope.
- FinOps: Forecast seat or credit impact; align to frozen value case.
- Adoption: Plan cohort messaging, clinics, and success measures.
- Comms: One story for board and staff — what changes, what does not, who owns risk.
Benefits
- May improve productivity on a specific Microsoft 365 surface when permissions and data quality allow.
- Roadmap visibility helps Horizon planning without guessing dates.
Risks
- Status and dates change; treat MRC as directional, not a contract.
- Enabling without Steady controls can amplify overshare or cost leakage.
- Preview or rolling features can change behaviour; fence exploration on Pane 12 Frontier.
