Microsoft Purview: Data Loss Prevention-UX improvements to the DLP Alerts in Purview Portal

We’re excited to announce UX improvements to the DLP Alerts Portal in Purview to help you triage incidents faster and more efficiently. What’s New: 1. Unified View: Events related to each alert are now available directly on the alerts page — no need to switch to new tab or drill down. 2. Faster Access: Access event details (e.g. Impacted assets) with just 1 click on the main alerts page itself, compared to 4 clicks earlier, reducing triage time significantly. 3. Enhanced Context: We’ve added 4 new columns – Location, DLP Rule name, DLP Policy name, Rule Action to display key alert and event attributes upfront — giving you more visibility at a glance. 4. Performance Boost: Cache improvements to ensure faster load times and a smoother experience. These updates are designed to streamline your workflow, reduce response times, and give you the context you need — all in a single, efficient view.ID: 537275 Release: Microsoft Purview compliance portal – GCC, GCC High, DoD Tags: January CY2026

Microsoft Purview: Data Loss Prevention-User based alert aggregation

User-Based Aggregation consolidates DLP alerts by user identity i.e. a DLP rule violations, in a specified aggregation time window, of the same rule and single user will be aggregated into a single alert enabling quicker triage and remediation. Instead of reviewing alerts containing rule match events of multiple users, DLP admin can now analyze grouped DLP rule match events per user, gaining insights into repeated policy violations and anomalous behavior.ID: 537276 Release: Microsoft Purview compliance portal – GCC, GCC High, DoD Tags: February CY2026
