DLP Policy Inventory
The question it answers: Which DLP policies exist, which workloads do they cover, and which of them actually block anything?
Which data loss prevention policies exist, which workloads they cover, and - most importantly - which of them actually block anything. Policies left in test (simulation) mode for months look like protection on paper but stop nothing.

| Licence | Microsoft 365 E3 for Exchange / SharePoint / OneDrive DLP; E5 (or E5 Compliance) for Teams and endpoint DLP. |
| Report id (API and MCP) | tenant.compliance.dlp-policies |
