|
PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE & DEPLOYMENT
|
| Product Type |
- Standalone, purpose-built DLP platform covering Email DLP, Endpoint DLP, and Cloud DLP as an integrated suite, with no dependency on another product or ecosystem.
|
- Data security capability delivered as part of the broader Microsoft Purview compliance suite, designed to operate within and around the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
|
| Plan Accessibility |
- All DLP features are included across plans without forced upgrades.
|
- Full DLP (especially Endpoint DLP and Insider Risk) typically requires Microsoft 365 E5 or the E5 Compliance add-on, so complete coverage depends on the top licensing tier.
|
| Deployment Options |
- Full Cloud and On-Premise deployment supported across both Email DLP and Endpoint DLP.
|
- Cloud-native (SaaS), managed from the Microsoft Purview portal. On-premises files are covered via the Information Protection scanner; there is no self-hosted on-prem control plane.
|
| Scalability |
- Supports enterprise-scale environments with flexible, cost-effective pricing.
|
- Scales well for large Microsoft 365 estates, but value is tied to deep Microsoft adoption and E5-level licensing.
|
|
DLP CHANNEL COVERAGE
|
| Email DLP |
- Dedicated Email DLP scans outbound emails, attachments, and message content in real time. Integrates natively with Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, and Mithi.
|
- Strong email DLP for Exchange Online and Outlook within Microsoft 365. Non-Microsoft mail such as Gmail or Zoho is not natively covered.
|
| Endpoint DLP |
- Dedicated Endpoint DLP covering USB drives, Bluetooth, external HDDs, printers, network devices, and web uploads with OCR support. Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
|
- Endpoint DLP covers Windows 10/11, certain Windows Server versions, and the three latest macOS versions. Controls copy-to-USB, network share, print, and clipboard. No Linux endpoint support.
|
| Cloud & Web App Control |
- Blocks file uploads to unapproved platforms. HTTP traffic monitoring with allow/block domain policies and time-based access controls.
|
- Covers cloud apps and browser uploads, with deeper control on Microsoft Edge. Broader SaaS visibility requires Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (separate license).
|
| Agentless Protection |
- Email DLP is fully agentless, so no agent is required on user devices, but endpoint DLP requires devices to be onboarded with the miniOrange endpoint agent.
|
- Service-side DLP for Exchange/SharePoint/OneDrive is agentless, but endpoint DLP requires devices to be onboarded with the Defender/endpoint agent.
|
| Personal Email Access Control |
- Restricts access to personal email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo) on corporate endpoints.
|
- No dedicated control to block access to personal webmail accounts on the endpoint; webmail can be inspected as content but not blocked at the account level.
|
|
OPERATING SYSTEM & PLATFORM SUPPORT
|
| Windows |
- Full Windows support across all Endpoint DLP features.
|
- Strongest coverage is on Windows, where classification, labelling, and browser DLP integrate most deeply.
|
| macOS |
- Full macOS support with device control, file monitoring, and policy enforcement.
|
- macOS is supported but with known gaps versus Windows. Several labelling and browser-DLP capabilities behave differently or are limited on Mac.
|
| Linux |
- Linux is listed as a supported OS for Endpoint DLP.
|
- No Linux endpoint DLP support. Mixed-OS fleets cannot enforce a unified endpoint policy set across all platforms.
|
| Mobile Device Support |
- Extends DLP policies to iOS and Android via MDM integration.
|
- No native mobile DLP. Mobile data protection is handled separately through Microsoft Intune app/device management.
|
|
DEVICE MANAGEMENT & PHYSICAL SECURITY
|
| Remote Lock |
- Administrators can instantly lock endpoint devices remotely.
|
- Not part of Purview. Device lock is handled by Microsoft Intune as a separate product.
|
| Remote Wipe |
- Securely erases sensitive data from lost, stolen, or decommissioned devices remotely.
|
- Not part of Purview. Remote wipe is an Intune device-management function, licensed and managed separately.
|
| Geo- & Tracking |
- Real-time device location tracking from the admin console, combined with remote lock/wipe.
|
- No device geolocation in Purview. Location and device state sit in Intune, not the data-security layer.
|
| Device Remote Access |
- Administrators remotely access endpoints to diagnose issues and enforce policies without physical access.
|
- No remote device administration or diagnostics within Purview.
|
| USB & Removable Media Control |
- Monitor, audit, and log every data transfer from removable storage, with device blocklisting and temporary policy relaxation.
|
- Can audit, warn, or block copy-to-USB and removable media via endpoint DLP policy, but without a device-management layer or temporary policy relaxation workflow.
|
| Advanced Device Control |
- Granular control of USB, printers, external HDDs, and network devices with blocklisting.
|
- Policy-based control of print, USB, network share, and clipboard. Broader peripheral and device control is shared with Intune endpoint security.
|
|
EMPLOYEE MONITORING & ACTIVITY CONTROL
|
| Employee Activity Monitoring |
- Comprehensive monitoring including AD session tracking, login monitoring, active/idle status, unusual session capture, and camera/screenshot policies.
|
- Activity is visible in Activity Explorer for data events. Behavioural and insider monitoring requires the separately licensed Insider Risk Management solution.
|
| Screenshot & Camera Policies |
- Policies can restrict screenshots and screen recording to help prevent sensitive information from being shared visually.
|
- No native control to restrict screenshots or screen recording; the focus is on file and content actions rather than visual capture prevention.
|
| Login Monitoring |
- Tracks login activity across endpoints to detect suspicious behaviour.
|
- Sign-in monitoring lives in Microsoft Entra ID, not in Purview DLP, so it is a separate identity capability.
|
|
DATA DISCOVERY, CLASSIFICATION & INTELLIGENCE
|
| Data Discovery & Classification |
- Comprehensive classification engine spanning predefined data types (PII, PHI, PCI, source code), custom rules, content inspection, and OCR for images delivering protection across diverse, multi-OS environments without ecosystem lock-in.
|
- Mature classification engine with sensitive info types, trainable classifiers, sensitivity labels, and Exact Data Match, focused primarily across Microsoft 365 data sources.
|
| Insider Threat Detection |
- Identifies unusual email and device patterns indicating insider threats, with real-time alerts on suspicious activity.
|
- Delivered through Insider Risk Management, a separate Purview solution requiring additional E5-level licensing.
|
| OCR / Image DLP |
- Uses OCR to detect sensitive text within images and enforce data protection policies on image content.
|
- OCR-based detection of text in images is available within the Purview DLP/classification stack.
|
| File Upload Restrictions |
- Prevents upload of unauthorised file types with content classification (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, ZIP, EXE) to unapproved platforms.
|
- Content-aware upload control by sensitive info type and label; granular allow/block by file extension is more limited than a dedicated file-type policy.
|
| Google Drive Data Classification |
- Classifies sensitive data stored in Google Drive and applies protection policies automatically, delivered natively within miniOrange Cloud DLP.
|
- Cloud classification is centred on OneDrive and SharePoint. Google Drive coverage relies on Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps as an added component.
|
|
INTEGRATIONS & ECOSYSTEM
|
| Email Platform Integration |
- Direct native integration with Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, and Exchange for real-time outbound email scanning.
|
- Native, deep integration with Exchange Online and Outlook. No native Gmail or Zoho integration.
|
| IAM Integration |
- Native IAM integration; miniOrange's own IAM platform provides single-vendor security.
|
- Identity is provided by Microsoft Entra ID, a separate product in the Microsoft stack rather than part of Purview itself.
|
| CASB Integration |
- Native CASB integration provides cloud data visibility across SaaS applications.
|
- CASB is delivered by Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, licensed and configured separately from Purview DLP.
|
| MDM Integration |
- MDM integration extends DLP policies to mobile and BYOD devices.
|
- Mobile/BYOD management is handled by Microsoft Intune, a separate product, not by Purview DLP.
|
| Active Directory (AD) |
- Active Directory integration for both Email DLP and Endpoint DLP, enabling user-based policy enforcement.
|
- Integrates with Entra ID (Azure AD) for identity and user/group-based policy scoping.
|
| AD Self-Service Password Reset |
- Supports AD self-service password reset through miniOrange's native identity platform, letting users securely reset passwords without helpdesk involvement.
|
- Self-service password reset exists in Entra ID, a separate identity product, not within Purview DLP.
|
| Unified Security Platform |
- DLP + IAM + CASB + MDM on a single miniOrange platform, one vendor for complete coverage.
|
- A full stack is achievable but spans multiple licensed products: Purview, Entra ID, Intune, and Defender for Cloud Apps.
|
| Third-Party Interoperability |
- Supports integration with Netskope and other third-party security products.
|
- Rich ecosystem within Microsoft; third-party DLP interoperability is generally Microsoft-centric and best within the M365 graph.
|
|
COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY COVERAGE
|
| Regulatory Frameworks |
- Supports compliance requirements for GDPR, HIPAA, ISO, PCI DSS, and RBI regulations.
|
- Extensive built-in templates for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS and many global frameworks. India-specific RBI guidance is not a dedicated out-of-the-box template focus.
|
| Audit Logs & Reporting |
- Comprehensive audit logs for email and endpoint events, real-time alerts, and compliance-ready dashboards.
|
- Strong reporting via Activity Explorer, alerts, and audit, with deepest fidelity inside Microsoft 365 workloads.
|
| Role-Based Access Control |
- Granular RBAC for dashboards across Email and Endpoint DLP, with custom roles and module-level permissions.
|
- Granular RBAC through the Microsoft Purview / Entra role model, managed within the broader Microsoft admin framework.
|
|
INDUSTRY USE CASES
|
| Healthcare |
- Patient records and sensitive healthcare information are protected across email and endpoint channels, helping meet healthcare data security and privacy requirements.
|
- Protects PHI strongly across Microsoft 365 workloads; coverage for non-Microsoft mail and mobile/BYOD requires added Microsoft components.
|
| BFSI / Finance |
- Financial and cardholder data secured with controls aligned to industry and banking standards, including PCI DSS and RBI requirements.
|
- Covers PCI DSS and major financial frameworks; India-specific RBI requirements are not addressed as a dedicated template.
|
| Manufacturing |
- Prevents blueprints, designs, and R&D documents from being emailed or transferred externally.
|
- Protects IP within Microsoft 365 and on supported endpoints, but with no Linux endpoint or native mobile reach.
|
| Remote Workforce |
- Cloud email and endpoint policies for distributed teams; supports corporate-managed and BYOD devices via MDM.
|
- Good for Microsoft-managed Windows/Mac endpoints; BYOD and mobile coverage depend on Intune as a separate layer.
|
| IT & Technology |
- Detects code fragments shared via email and prevents code cloning or exfiltration from development machines.
|
- Detects sensitive content on supported channels, but lacks native Gmail integration and Linux endpoint coverage common in dev environments.
|
| Education |
- Protects student and staff data from accidental email disclosure and unauthorised endpoint transfers.
|
- Protects data well across Microsoft 365 for education tenants, with the same non-Microsoft mail and mobile gaps.
|
|
SUPPORT, ADMINISTRATION & ONBOARDING
|
| 24/7 Support |
- 24x7 global technical support is included across all support plans.
|
- Support follows the Microsoft 365 support model and the customer's support plan tier, rather than an included 24x7 DLP-specific tier.
|
| Deployment & Onboarding |
- Fast deployment with guided onboarding included as part of setup services. Consultation and implementation assistance provided for all customers.
|
- Onboarding leverages existing Microsoft 365 tenancy, but full DLP rollout (endpoint onboarding, labels, policies) typically needs experienced Microsoft administrators.
|
| Admin Dashboard Customisation |
- Fully customisable admin dashboard with white-label branding options and configurable widgets.
|
- Centralised Microsoft Purview portal with strong reporting, but no product-level white-label branding.
