Office 365 is a the most advanced hosted cloud system present in today’s world and Golden Five Consulting is the Direct reseller of Microsoft and other Cloud platforms. However Golden Five Consulting’s primary focus is IT consulting and providing the best consulting services to their customer. Golden Five Consulting goes all in for their customers.
Golden Five Consulting as a Microsoft partner do our own testing and research then take a decision if there is a bug or issue then share the customer’s business impact to Microsoft then request Microsoft (and other vendors) to change the design. This is a responsibility of a technology partner to serve the best for their partner and customer. We have been extremely focused to win this for both customer and vendor. Microsoft as a Golden Five Consulting vendor has been listening to us and we have ensured to share the impact of every concern.
When it comes to Data Loss Prevention, it can be devastating for individuals and corporations. A correct Data Loss Prevention Policy should be applied or there could be a loss of privacy and data. Office 365 is great but if some things are not configured correctly then it can cause a lot of pain to you or your customers. For one of our customers, we enabled DLP with ICD 9 and ICD 10. We found 1000s of reports in compliance mailbox with the following report sample.
Sample overview:
There is no value/context presented in this report, so admins and end users can’t identify what to fix in the document or what to add in the exception. We implemented, discussed, and explained this to our customer. The problem with our customer of over 700,000 office 365 users is how to address this for such a large population which had no context or word or value telling what is wrong in the document.
At this point, we opened Microsoft ticket and Microsoft frontend team had no clue how to fix it.

11/30/2018: Golden Five Consulting Raised this concern that SPO and OneDrive DLP report needs a design change because report is not helping resolving customers issues with the documents.
05/30/2019: Microsoft Implemented Context Value in Data Loss Prevention Report. Value is the word which is not passing through the ICD 9/10 DLP policy.
Between the period of 11/30/2019 to 05/30/2019, we had multiple discussion with different Microsoft Group. In the end we did it, now every Office 365 Customer can start using DLP if they were using 3rd party DLP because of reporting defect.
Overall this is one of the examples (more to come) which shows there is no better Microsoft Partner exist than Golden Five Consulting who really care about their customer requirement in the real world. Consult us info@GoldenFive.net
Golden Five Consulting is currently holding the following Microsoft Competencies.
Our motivation from this blog is to share the change in DLP Reporting and Highlight Golden Five Consulting’s effort to get this design change implemented for every office 365 DLP users and non-users who were not using DLP for reporting defect. This should add more DLP consumers.
