Email is one of the easiest ways that information can leak out of your organization. Microsoft Office 365 has data loss prevention (DLP) policies for certain subscription levels that, if set up properly, can help prevent data leakage. If you have an E3 or E5 license, you can set policies and show tips reminding users that they shouldn’t be sending sensitive information.
Even though you can tell your users that they shouldn’t be emailing information that includes credit card numbers, social security numbers or other sensitive identity information, the reality is that people will forget and email this information regardless.
