In brief
Microsoft Purview: Data Loss Prevention- Adaptive Scopes for DLP for SharePoint
What the source says
Adaptive Scope for SharePoint is a dynamic scoping capability in Microsoft Purview DLP that allows administrators to automatically target DLP policies to the right sites based on attributes such as site URL, site name, or custom site metadata. Unlike static scoping, which requires manually listing sites and maintaining them over time, adaptive scopes continuously evaluate site properties and auto‐include or exclude locations as they evolve. This enables scalable policy deployment, eliminates the 100‐site static policy limit, and delivers granular, and automated targeting.
