Recommended actions

  1. 01ChatGPT trains on data unless a business tier or opt-out is used. Verify which tier these users are on.
  2. 024 of 5 matches were not blocked (All Full Names, U.S. Social Security Number (SSN), Credit Card Number). Review which rules still run in audit mode and align them with the blocking rules.
  3. 031 person overrode the DLP warning. Read the business justifications in Activity explorer; repeated overrides for the same data type mean the policy is wrong or the training is.
  4. 04High-impact information types were involved (All Full Names, U.S. Social Security Number (SSN), Credit Card Number). Treat this as a data incident: confirm with the user what was pasted, and check the vendor's retention terms for the accounts involved.
