MC920304 - Microsoft Purview | Communication Compliance: Policy alerts improvements

Updated November 12, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance is improving the capabilities and customization of policy alerts.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 181825.

When this will happen:

Public Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-January 2025 (previously mid-November)) and expect to complete by late February 2025 (previously late December).

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early April 2025 (previously early February) and expect to complete by late April 2025 (previously late February).

How this will affect your organization:

Communication Compliance is improving the capabilities and customization of policy alerts. Admins will be able to customize the alert frequency per policy as well as adjust the email alerts frequency and recipients within the policy creation wizard by navigating to the new alerts page.

This new feature is available by default.

What you need to do to prepare:

Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance provides the tools to help organizations detect business conduct and regulatory compliance violations (e.g. SEC or FINRA), such as sensitive or confidential information, harassing or threatening language, and sharing of adult content. Usernames are pseudonymized by default, role-based access controls are built in, investigators are opted in by an admin, and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.

You can access the Communication Compliance solution in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
