Summary

File Quarantine action in Microsoft Purview DLP for SharePoint and OneDrive, enables stronger, immediate protection for sensitive data. When a DLP policy is triggered, the File Quarantine action automatically moves the file to a restricted, admin‑controlled & defined quarantine location—instantly removing access for all users while preserving the file for review and investigation. This capability helps organizations contain data‑exposure risks, prevents further sharing or misuse, and delivers a powerful new layer of enforcement.
