Power Automate and Copilot Studio receive major DLP upgrades

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.
