Using Content Types to improve Microsoft 365 governance

Scott Ortlepp at SProbot has provided a step-by-step guide of an end-to-end process for Governance in an M365 environment.  First, he set up a Contract Contact Type, then a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy in the SharePoint Admin Center, followed by setting up a Compliance rule within the policy that blocks files associated with the Contract Content Type from being shared with any external users.

Additionally, he provides the steps to add this new content type and associated documents to a managed property in the Search crawl component.  It’s all quite clever and straight-forward.  He uses PowerShell along the way although the same processes may very well be performed in the user interface.  Good stuff here and happy to pass along.
