Microsoft 365 Purview allows you to create policies that detect sensitive information and trigger alerts when data is shared or stored inappropriately. These policies can identify various types of sensitive data using built-in templates or custom configurations.

For example, you can monitor common sensitive data types like Social Security numbers, credit card data, and GDPR-related information.

For enhanced protection, we recommend creating custom sensitive information types, including fingerprinting confidential documents.

This advanced technique detects unique document characteristics (fingerprints) across emails, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and even local devices.
