Summary

Microsoft Purview DLP now extends inline data security controls in Edge for Business to more unmanaged consumer GenAI apps on Intune-managed Windows devices. Admins can apply existing policies without extra deployment. Public preview starts late November 2025; general availability completes by December 2025.

More information

Updated November 17, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction:

We are expanding inline protections for uploads in Microsoft Edge for Business to cover more unmanaged consumer generative AI (GenAI) apps. With this update, admins can apply Microsoft Purview collection policies and Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to detect and prevent sensitive data sharing in the Edge browser when users interact with these additional unmanaged app locations. Inline protections are built directly into Edge for Business and work for users on Intune-managed Windows devices. This enhancement complements existing capabilities, giving organizations greater flexibility to enforce data security controls across a broader set of GenAI apps.
