Recommended actions

  1. 01
    Perplexity trains on data unless a business tier or opt-out is used. Verify which tier these users are on.

  2. 02
    Every DLP match for Perplexity was audit or warn only (All Full Names). The policy sees the data leaving and lets it go. Move the rule to Block for these information types, at least for uploads and pastes to unsanctioned AI sites.
    Purview DLP
  3. 03
    2 signup emails show people creating Perplexity accounts with their work address. Those accounts live outside Entra, so leaving the company does not close them. Move users to the enterprise tier with SSO, or add a mail flow rule that flags vendor signups to the security team.
    Email
  4. 04
    Perplexity runs as a browser extension on 1 device and can read every page those users open, including webmail and internal apps. Manage it with the browser's ExtensionInstallBlocklist or allowlist policy.
    Endpoint
  5. 05
    Perplexity was seen only on endpoints, not in Entra or network discovery, so it may be used offline or from unmanaged networks. Check the device list for VPN gaps.

  6. 06
    Perplexity is assigned through Google Workspace, so it already has an owner. Confirm the assignment group is deliberate and mark the app sanctioned here if it is.
