Hi, it's me! Today's AWS update should catch the eye of any company running both Microsoft 365 and AWS.

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

What was announced?

AWS's What's New announced that Amazon Quick now integrates with Microsoft Purview to enable data loss prevention (DLP). You can now apply your existing Purview sensitivity labels directly within your Amazon Quick environment.

Why it matters

Making sure sensitive files never leave approved channels has always been a headache for organizations. The more casually people can share files, in chat or a knowledge base, the higher the risk of an accidental leak. Whether IT and security teams can control that risk without bolting on more tools is what really matters here.

What changes

With this integration, IT administrators and security teams can automatically apply their existing Purview sensitivity labels to control how files are handled across Amazon Quick capabilities such as:

  • Chat
  • Spaces
  • Knowledge bases

Administrators can configure an enforcement action for each label, choosing from:

  • Block
  • Warn
  • Allow

For example, a financial services company could block files labeled "Highly Confidential" from being uploaded to shared spaces, while allowing "Internal" files with a warning notification. The key benefit is extending existing Purview governance policies into Quick without adding new tools.

Dive Deep

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Quick's agentic capabilities are supported; see the AWS Region table for details. Setup steps and more details are in the "Data loss prevention" page of the Amazon Quick User Guide.

Wrap-up

  • Amazon Quick now integrates with Microsoft Purview to enforce DLP using your existing sensitivity labels
  • Applies to file handling in chat, spaces, and knowledge bases
  • Choose block, warn, or allow per label for fine-grained control
  • Extends existing Purview governance policies into Quick with no extra tools needed
  • Available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Quick's agentic capabilities are supported

A solid ally for IT admins and security teams who run Microsoft 365 alongside AWS and want tight governance over sensitive data!
