MC937158 - Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management: New scenario-based policy templates

Updated February 21, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Coming soon to Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management: Two new preconfigured quick policy templates for Crown jewel protection and Email exfiltration. These templates are for admins who want to deploy scenario-specific policy templates with less configuration, to get started faster. The existing quick policies for Data leak and Data theft will continue to be available. You can find all four scenario-based quick policies in Insider Risk Management at Policies > Create Policies. Admins can expect additional turning after deploying these policies to meet individual alert volume needs.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 409966.

When this will happen:

Public Preview: We will begin rolling out late November 2024 and expect to complete by mid-December 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late February 2025 (previously early February) and expect to complete by late March 2025.
