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