MC921117 - Microsoft Purview |Communication Compliance: Customize policies with language-specific trainable classifier conditions

Updated December 2, 2024: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.

Introducing a new Microsoft Purview | Communication Compliance feature that allows users to customize their compliance policies by selecting specific languages for trainable classifiers.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 408533 

When this will happen:

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

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-March 2025 (previously mid-January) and expect to complete by late March 2025 (previously late January).

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout, all available language models are included by default, often leading to unwanted matches.

After this rollout, you can tailor your policy conditions to run Trainable Classifiers for specific languages, bringing precision to your compliance approach. The selected languages will be applied to all classifiers in the policy. You can update your existing policies for a more language-specific compliance strategy.

This feature will be available by default.

In the Purview compliance portal, the Choose languages option will be in the in the Trainable classifier side panel.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout.

Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your admins about this change and update any relevant documentation.
