⌛ IN DEVELOPMENT

Release – March 2022

  • 🆕 Microsoft 365 compliance center: Compliance Manager – Alerts and notifications for score changes  – This feature will allow admins to set monitoring policies on top of Compliance Manager activities such as score change, improvement action assignment, and evidence upload. A successful policy match will generate an alert which will allow admins to further investigate.  Roadmap ID:88964
  • Microsoft 365 compliance center: Microsoft 365 data loss prevention on-premises scanner (US Government clouds) – Microsoft 365 DLP on-premises scanner relies on a full implementation of the Azure Information Protection (AIP) scanner to monitor, label, and protect sensitive items. It crawls on-premises data-at-rest in file shares and SharePoint document libraries and folders for sensitive items that, if leaked, would pose a risk to your organization, or pose a risk of compliance policy violation. This gives you the visibility and control you need to ensure that sensitive items are used and protected properly, and to help prevent risky behavior that might compromise them. The information about what the users are doing with sensitive items is made visible in Activity explorer and you can enforce protective actions on those items via DLP policies.  Roadmap ID:88960
  • Microsoft 365 compliance center: Teams data in Content explorer (US Government clouds) – With the availability of Teams data in Content Explorer, customers will be able to display Sensitive information and Sensitivity labels detected on Teams data within the Content explorer.  Roadmap ID:88840

Release – April 2022

  • 🆕 Microsoft Compliance center: Records management multi-stage disposition review – This update allows organizations to use a multi-stage disposition process, including multiple stakeholders and reviews before deleting the content. Roadmap ID:82110
  • 🆕 Microsoft 365 compliance center: Compliance Manager – Alerts and notifications for score changes (US Government clouds) – This feature will allow admins to set monitoring policies on top of Compliance Manager activities such as score change, improvement action assignment, and evidence upload.

Release – May 2022

Release – June 2022

  • Microsoft Compliance Center: Expanded support to search and export items in SharePoint and OneDrive for Business Recycle Bin in Advanced eDiscovery – Traditionally, when a site is on hold, the files in the Recycle Bin would be stored in the Preservation Hold library. In cases when a site is not on hold, there is no way to search or export items in the Recycle Bin. The eDiscovery and SharePoint Online teams are making architectural changes that will make the Recycle Bin (both first-stage and second-stage Recycle Bins) in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business searchable and exportable by eDiscovery Managers. That means organizations can search and export items in the Recycle Bin regardless of whether a site is on hold or not. Roadmap ID:67092

Insider Risk Management in Microsoft 365 correlates various signals from the chip to the cloud to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, security and policy violations, and more. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to ensure user-level privacy.   Roadmap ID:88908

Release – August 2022

  • Azure Active Directory: Customize SSPR, footer hyperlinks and favicon in Company Branding – Today, self-service password reset (SSPR) and footer hyperlinks direct end-users to Microsoft resources.
