Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management: Public preview of Global exclusions

Updated August 29, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management will be rolling out public preview of Global exclusions in the in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 185687.

When this will happen:

Public Preview: We will begin rolling out early May 2024 and expect to complete by mid-May 2024.

General Availability: We will begin rolling out mid-October 2024 (previously mid-August) and expect to complete by mid-November 2024 (previously late August).

How this will affect your organization:

With this rollout, all exclusion features currently found under intelligent detections will be relocated to a new Global exclusions tab in the insider risk settings. All previously added exclusions in intelligent detections will be migrated to this new tab.

The functionality of exclusions remains unchanged. Admins with appropriate permissions can now add exclusion with defined detection groups, which contain similar entities like domains or file types. This new tab is designed to enhance usability and provide a convenient way to access and manage exclusions.

What you need to do to prepare:

After rollout: please review the features in Global exclusions that were previously part of intelligent detections.
