22. Org: How can I control sensitive data on
OneDrive sites?
 Identify sensitive information across many locations, such as SharePoint Online and OneDrive for
Business.
For example, you can identify any document containing a credit card number that’s stored in any OneDrive for
Business site, or you can monitor just the OneDrive sites of specific people.
 Prevent the accidental sharing of sensitive information.
Across all sites, you can identify any document containing a health record that’s shared with people outside your
organization, and then automatically block access to that document for everyone except the primary site
collection administrator, document owner, and the person who last modified the content.
