Microsoft plans to surface recommendations to use communications compliance policies as part of its DLP workflow. That sounds acceptable, but it’s the second example of how Microsoft pushes high-priced premium features to Office 365 tenants through DLP. Apart from the undesirability of pushing features to customers through software, communications compliance is not something that you implement on a whim, so why does Microsoft think this is a good idea?
Yammer compliance records are generated by the Microsoft 365 substrate and consumed by features such as communications compliance policies and eDiscovery. In this post, we consider where Yammer compliance records are stored and what they contain and how to use PowerShell to figure out the activity levels of Yammer communities.
Communications compliance policies scan user messages to detect violations of company or regulatory rules. A change introduces support for hybrid users whose mailboxes are on Exchange on-premises servers. The change might not pick up many new violations, but it does increase the coverage and stops some violations sneaking through, which is always a good thing.
