Microsoft Power Platform has introduced major Data Loss Prevention (DLP) enhancements for Power Automate and Copilot Studio. These updates improve governance, scalability, and security by enabling admins to block triggers, filter endpoints, enforce runtime policies, and better manage large-scale policy changes. Bullet points:
Major DLP Enhancements for Power Automate and Copilot Studio
Microsoft just rolled out big updates to Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Power Automate and Copilot Studio. These changes boost governance, scalability, and usability across cloud and desktop automation. If you’re managing flows, these upgrades are game-changers.
What’s New in DLP for Power Automate?
Administrators now have more control over triggers, not just actions. You can block triggers tagged with [TRIGGER], tightening security on what automation can start within your organization.
Another exciting feature is the Endpoint Filtering in Public Preview. This lets admins restrict which websites desktop flows can access through the Browser Automation connector. It’s a must-have for high-risk automation scenarios. Plus, application-level filtering via UI Automation is coming soon.
Environment variables also got a boost. You can now use them in endpoint definitions with the @environmentVariables("variableName") pattern. For example, an SMTP endpoint can be dynamically set, making migrations and configurations smoother.
Important Updates That Improve Security and Performance
Runtime enforcement is now fully rolled out as of June 2025. This means Data policies don’t just apply when you design flows—they’re enforced during execution too. This ensures continuous compliance.
Microsoft also improved how suspended cloud flows react to policy updates. Instead of disabling flows after policy violations, compliant flows suspended within the last 7 days are automatically reactivated. This reduces downtime and speeds up recovery.
For organizations with large tenants, backend systems now handle policy updates more efficiently. Smarter job throttling and better detection strategies cut down the time it takes for policy changes to kick in.
Why These Enhancements Matter
As Tristan Dehove, a Microsoft expert, puts it:
“We significantly bolster governance, scalability, and usability across both cloud and desktop automation scenarios.”
In short, these updates help IT pros maintain tighter control over automation workflows without sacrificing flexibility or speed.
Final Thoughts
If you’re using Power Automate or Copilot Studio, these DLP enhancements are worth exploring now. They offer stronger security, better policy management, and improved performance for complex environments.
