Microsoft Azure users can configure a blob storage bucket to automatically upload all
files that match an Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) data profile.
To store files scanned by Enterprise DLP, you must create a storage account and
Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows Enterprise DLP access to
automatically store files. Files uploaded to your storage account are automatically
named using a unique Report ID for each file. The Report ID is used to search and
download specific files for more in-depth investigation.
Enterprise DLP automatically sends email alerts to the data security
administrator who originally connected Enterprise DLP to the storage bucket and
to the data security admin who last modified the storage bucket settings in case of
connection issues. Enterprise DLP sends the email alert every 48 hours until
you restore the connection between Enterprise DLP and the storage bucket.
Files not scanned while
Enterprise DLP is disconnected from your storage
bucket can't be stored and are lost. This means that all impacted files are not
available for download. However, your data security administrator can still view
all snippet data associated with the
DLP incident.
Enterprise DLP automatically resumes forwarding files to your storage bucket
after you restore the connection.
