You can now use client-side encryption as a condition for a data loss prevention (DLP) rule. As with other DLP rules, you’ll be able to configure:

If users are warned before sharing externally. If users are blocked from sharing externally. The ability to download, print, or copy the document are disabled for commenters and viewers. Whether these events should be sent to the Alert Center for further investigation.

Client-side encryption goes beyond the latest cryptographic standards used by Workspace by giving organizations authoritative control and privacy as the sole owner of private encryption keys and the identity provider of the encryption keys. Combining client-side encryption with DLP rules help our admins build an even stronger framework around sensitive data and information.
