Recommended actions

  1. 011 of 2 matches were not blocked (Credit Card Number, Project Codename (custom)). Review which rules still run in audit mode and align them with the blocking rules.
  2. 02High-impact information types were involved (Credit Card Number, Project Codename (custom)). Treat this as a data incident: confirm with the user what was pasted, and check the vendor's retention terms for the accounts involved.
  3. 03Copilot prompts matched DLP policies. Extend the same sensitivity labels to Copilot with 'exclude from Copilot processing' where the label warrants it, and review oversharing with DSPM for AI.
