Microsoft Purview Data Security Triage Agent will include sensitive data remediation through Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Purview Data Security Triage Agent will add sensitive data remediation via Microsoft Teams for SharePoint and OneDrive files, automating user notifications and tracking remediation progress. This opt-in feature, launching in public preview late June 2026, aims to reduce compliance risk and improve remediation visibility.

[What and Why]

Microsoft Purview Data Security Triage Agent in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) will include a sensitive data remediation capability to help organizations identify and remediate sensitive information across SharePoint and OneDrive at scale. This capability will automate user engagement by sending remediation requests directly to the last modifier of affected files through Microsoft Teams. By enabling a closed-loop remediation process, organizations will be able to reduce compliance risk, improve remediation rates, and gain better visibility into remediation progress.
