    I would highly recommend Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for companies that are utilizing Microsoft technologies based on the strong integrations. If a company is using other technologies (e.g Google Workspace), then Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention would not be a good fit and would be difficult to implement/manage.

    • Automatic labeling, once we've trained the naming conventions and things like that and we get the labels placed on things. One of the biggest problems that our clients face is the fact that they don't particularly know every single time exactly the data that they're trying to protect, how to identify it when it comes into the system or when they create it, right? So we're using Purview and we're using the abilities that Purview has to auto-label things based off of either taxonomy that you have produced or created or that have been automatically populated through AI. That makes it a lot easier and kind of thwarts possible user error that causes problems for organizations.

    • Overall, Microsoft DLP is not my number one choice because there's not much flexibility. There's a lot of restrictions and the way they set up rules a lot really restrictive. Thus it takes a lot more time for my team to build the rules and establish the controls as needed. So it's very clunky in that way and they have not improved it over the years, but I know they're trying to get a better, however it takes time because Microsoft, as we all knows, not a really security centric company.

    There are much more comprehensive and granular DLP solutions out there like Trellix and Sophos but ultimately they are expensive and require significant administrative oversight for implementation and deployment. For a company of our size, they are just not economically feasible. We purchased out 365 E5 tenant with Purview DLP integration from a reseller at a price that we couldn't compete with vs a standalone enterprise product.

    • It has helped us to prevent data breaches and protect them from data loss.
    • It has strong visibility on the activities related to data copy to and from removable devices.
    • It can easily enforce the policies on group of users and also exclude some in the exclusions

All users and computers with CurrentWare Clients installed can be managed from the console, including offsite/remote workers.Screenshot of AccessPatrol's device permissions window. This is the list of devices that can be blocked with AccessPatrol, including removable storage devices such as USB flash drives, optical media, and floppy disks. AccessPatrol can also block WiFi, Printers/Scanners, and other peripheral devices.

If specific USB devices need to be allowed that can be whitelisted using the Allowed List. By design AccessPatrol does not block USB-based HID devices such as keyboards and mice; blocking USBs will still allow these devices to function as normal.Screenshot of AccessPatrol's USB activity dashboards provide aggregated and granular USB activity data at a glance including file operations and blocked vs allowed devicesScreenshot of AccessPatrol's Block File Transfers window.
