Updated September 29, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

What and why

Microsoft Purview is expanding Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Information Protection auto-labeling support for non-Microsoft applications. Administrators will be able to create and manage DLP and auto-labeling policies directly in Microsoft Purview for supported non-Microsoft applications. 

These capabilities use Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps connectors to connect supported non-Microsoft applications to Microsoft Purview.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 568075.

Rollout schedule

  • Public Preview: Beginning in mid-Augustearly October 2026 (previously mid-August) and expected to complete in early SeptemberOctober 2026 (previously early September)
  • General Availability (Worldwide): Beginning in late October 2026 (previously early September 2026September) and expected to complete in late October 2026

Impact on your organization

Who is affected

  • Microsoft Purview administrators
  • Organizations using supported non-Microsoft applications

Platforms and services

  • Microsoft Purview
  • Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps

What will happen

After rollout, dedicated application locations will be available in Microsoft Purview for supported non-Microsoft applications.

These capabilities use Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps connectors to connect supported non-Microsoft applications to Microsoft Purview.

Administrators will be able to:

  • Create and manage DLP policies for supported applications.
  • Create and manage auto-labeling policies for supported applications.

Supported DLP application locations:

  • Google Workspace
  • Box
  • Dropbox
  • Salesforce
  • ServiceNow
  • AWS
  • Cisco Webex

Supported auto-labeling application locations:

  • Google Workspace
  • Box

Available policy conditions and actions vary by application and may include content inspection, sensitivity labeling, notifications, quarantine actions, and access controls.

Before you create Microsoft Purview policy for any of these non-Microsoft applications, turn off or delete any Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps file policies for the same non-Microsoft locations. Running both at once can cause unexpected policy enforcement.

Action required and recommendations

No action is required before rollout.

To use these capabilities:

  • Connect the applicable application through Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
  • Ensure your organization has the required Enterprise tier Microsoft Purview licensing.
  • Review Microsoft Purview At Rest Protection pricing and billing implications before enabling these capabilities. Usage is billed through the Microsoft Purview At Rest Protection pay-as-you-go meter. The unit of measure for at-rest files in non-Microsoft applications is calculated at a rate of 1,000 files = 1 data asset.
