Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) will transition inline protection of sensitive text in Edge for Business and all Microsoft Fabric policies to a Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) billing model starting at the end of October 2025.
Inline protection of sensitive text in Edge for Business helps detect and prevent data exfiltration to unmanaged generative AI apps in the Edge browser, such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot (consumer edition), and DeepSeek.
This change affects:
- Microsoft Purview Collection policies for unmanaged generative AI apps in Edge for Business
- Microsoft Purview DLP policies for unmanaged generative AI apps in Edge for Business
- Microsoft Purview DLP policies for Microsoft Fabric products
Timeline
If the PAYG configuration is not implemented:
- Starting 31 October 2025, all Purview Collection and DLP policies for unmanaged generative AI apps in Microsoft Edge will stop working.
- Starting early November 2025, all DLP policies for Microsoft Fabric will work for a short time, but you won’t be able to edit or create new ones.
Who is affected?
- Organizations using Microsoft Purview Collection policies for unmanaged generative AI apps in Edge for Business, like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot (consumer edition), and DeepSeek.
Collection policies are an event collection and filtering tool in Microsoft Purview that enables monitoring and classification of events from apps and locations that lay both inside of and beyond your organization’s trust boundaries. They let you filter which events from both untrusted and trusted sources are ingested into Purview.
- Organizations using Microsoft Purview DLP policies for unmanaged generative AI apps in Edge for Business, like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot (consumer edition), and DeepSeek.
Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) monitoring and protection are built right into the Microsoft Edge for Business browser. You don’t need to onboard the device into Microsoft Purview. This integration helps you stop users from sharing sensitive information to and from cloud apps using Edge.
- Organizations using Microsoft Purview DLP policies for Microsoft Fabric.
To help organizations detect and protect their sensitive data, Fabric supports Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. When a DLP policy for Fabric detects a supported item type containing sensitive information, the policy triggers the configured actions.
How does this affect your organization?
The Purview Admin Portal > DLP policies indicate that the listed services above require a PAYG subscription starting on 31 October 2025.
An administrator must link Microsoft Purview with an Azure subscription, changing the Free tier to an Enterprise PAYG billing model.
After that, browser-based policies for inline protection of sensitive text in Edge for Business will move to a paid Public Preview using the Microsoft Purview In Transit Protection meter.
This sensitive text protection in Edge for Business affects unmanaged generative AI apps like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot (consumer edition), and DeepSeek. You find these apps in a DLP policy if you select the type “Data in browser and network activity”.
The Microsoft Fabric change includes DLP policies for Fabric and Power BI workspaces. This DLP option is unavailable if the PAYG configuration is missing, and existing DLP policies cannot be edited until the configuration is updated.
