Recommended actions

  1. 01Perplexity trains on data unless a business tier or opt-out is used. Verify which tier these users are on.
  2. 02Every 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.
