Microsoft has unveiled a major set of enhancements to Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies in Power Automate and Copilot Studio. These updates mark a significant leap forward in governance, scalability, and control for organizations automating processes across cloud and desktop environments.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s new:
What is DLP?
Data Loss Prevention lets admins govern data access across Power Automate flows (cloud & desktop) and Copilot Studio agent flows.Flow-Level Enforcement
DLP policies—managed in the Power Platform Admin Center—now automatically evaluate flows during editing and saving. If policies change, non-compliant flows can be suspended, and blocked connectors disabled.Trigger Blocking
Admins can now block specific triggers, just like actions, offering more granular control over automation behavior.Endpoint Filtering (Public Preview)
A powerful new preview feature lets you restrict browser automation in desktop flows to approved websites only—ideal for securing high-risk scenarios.Environment Variables for Endpoints
Now you can define endpoints dynamically using environment variables in your policies:
@environmentVariable("variableName")
— simplifying solution migration.
