These controls become even more crucial if the data involved is sensitive information, which can range from industry-wide data (such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or customer information) to proprietary information (such as patents or confidential documents).

These future capabilities will allow you to create policies that automatically detect sensitive content and apply protection based on your organization\u2019s needs, such as taking actions like deletion of content or quarantine until further reviewed. You\u2019ll also see us unify the entire compliance experience for you across Office 365, providing you with consolidated, built-in security controls at your fingertips.

I\u2019m not seeing any sensitive content for eDiscovery queries. What can I do to change this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Documents need to be scanned before they will show up in query results. Our scan process is built into the SharePoint Online Search crawler, so as you upload or edit documents, they will be scanned or rescanned if a version of the document already exists. <a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/sharepoint-online-search-service-description.aspx\">This article<\/a> provides a comprehensive outline of content discovery and search in SharePoint. Many of the topics in the article may be of interest to you, but sections about crawls and managing the search schema may be of particular use for this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Why do my DLP queries have no results in Exchange?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. We are prioritizing bringing the ability to perform DLP queries on data in SharePoint Online first, based on customer feedback, and will be considering Exchange for future updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. What are the different files types that can be detected with this capability?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. You can find a list of the file types that we support in SharePoint <a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/jj219530(v=office.15).aspx\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Will this scan the OneDrive for Business documents as well?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Yes, the eDiscovery Center will get search results from Site Collections and any OneDrive where you have granted it access. This is covered in more depth in our documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Are these features available for on-premises SharePoint releases?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. While today we are bringing this capability to our SharePoint Online customers, based on customer feedback we will be considering this capability for future SharePoint on-premises releases as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. What are the future plans for DLP in SharePoint?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. DLP in SharePoint is an ongoing investment and with this new capability we are laying the stepping stone for more improvements.&nbsp;Later this year we will introduce additional capabilities that go beyond simply discovering and reviewing sensitive content. These new capabilities will allow you to create policies that automatically detect sensitive content and apply protection based on your organization\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. I would like to participate in the early adopters plan for DLP in SharePoint, especially for the features coming up later this year. What can I do to participate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. The best way to try the new features in Office 365 is via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/2014\/06\/19\/improving-visibility-to-service-updates\/?wt_mc_id=publicroadmapsocial\">Office 365 First Release program<\/a>.
