Protecting sensitive data against unauthorized sharing and leaks is a top priority for organizations of all sizes. The Implement Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention by Using Microsoft Purview training (SC-5003) teaches you in one day to deploy sensitivity labels, configure data loss prevention (DLP) policies, and implement information barriers using Microsoft Purview. You will classify, label, and protect documents, emails, and data across Microsoft 365 endpoints and cloud applications.
Delivered by an MCT-certified trainer at ITTA in Geneva or Lausanne, this SC-5003 training is entirely hands-on with labs on the official Microsoft cloud environment. You will configure sensitivity labels with encryption and access restrictions, create DLP policies to prevent unauthorized data sharing in Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, and implement information barriers between departments. This training prepares for the Microsoft Applied Skills credential.

Module 5: Implement information protection and data loss prevention with Microsoft Purview
In a context where data leaks regularly make headlines, Swiss businesses can no longer afford to neglect the protection of their sensitive information. The revised Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA), the European GDPR, and sector-specific requirements impose concrete measures to prevent the loss of confidential data. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is the technical answer to these obligations by enabling the automatic identification, monitoring, and protection of sensitive data wherever it resides in your digital environment. The SC-5003 training gives you the keys to implementing a robust DLP strategy with Microsoft Purview, Microsoft’s governance and compliance platform.
Microsoft Purview is Microsoft’s unified platform for data governance, compliance, and information protection. It brings together tools that allow you to classify your data, apply sensitivity labels, and create data loss prevention policies. During this training, you will explore the Microsoft Purview compliance portal and its various modules. You will understand how these components work together to form a coherent protection strategy, from discovering sensitive data to actively protecting it across all your organization’s communication and collaboration channels. This holistic view is essential for deploying Data Loss Prevention effectively and sustainably.
Classification is the foundation of any successful Data Loss Prevention strategy. The SC-5003 training teaches you to create custom sensitive information types tailored to your organization’s specific data, whether AVS numbers, Swiss IBANs, or medical data. You will learn to configure trainable classifiers that use machine learning to identify document categories such as contracts, invoices, or financial reports. Sensitivity labels then allow you to mark documents and emails according to their sensitivity level, with the ability to automatically apply encryption, access restrictions, or watermarks. You will configure client-side and service-side auto-labeling to ensure protection without manual user intervention.
Data Loss Prevention policies are the active mechanism that prevents sensitive data from leaking outside your organization. You will learn to create DLP policies covering Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft Teams. Each policy defines detection conditions (sensitive information types, labels, data volume), protection actions (block sharing, notify user, require justification), and exceptions necessary for business operations. You will discover how to calibrate detection thresholds to minimize false positives while maintaining a high level of protection. The training also covers progressive policy deployment in test mode before full activation, an essential approach to avoid disruptions in daily workflows.
Protection is not limited to cloud services. Endpoint DLP extends monitoring to user workstations to control actions such as copying to USB drives, printing sensitive documents, or pasting into unauthorized applications. You will configure Endpoint DLP in the Microsoft labs to define monitored activities and applicable restrictions. Additionally, Exact Data Match (EDM) allows you to precisely detect specific data from your internal databases, such as customer numbers or employee IDs, without generating false positives related to similar formats. This advanced Data Loss Prevention technique offers surgical detection particularly valued in the banking and healthcare sectors in Switzerland.
Deploying DLP policies is only the first step. The SC-5003 training teaches you to leverage monitoring dashboards in Microsoft Purview to track data leak incidents, analyze trends, and adjust your policies. You will discover how to configure alerts, investigate incidents with the activity explorer, and generate compliance reports for your management.
The SC-5003 training prepares for the Microsoft Applied Skills credential, a practical validation of your skills in information protection and Data Loss Prevention. The assessment takes place in a lab environment where you must perform concrete tasks for configuring and deploying DLP policies with Microsoft Purview. This practical assessment format attests to your ability to immediately implement these solutions in a professional environment. ITTA, a Microsoft Learning Partner in Switzerland, supports you with experienced MCT trainers in Geneva and Lausanne.
What is Data Loss Prevention in Microsoft Purview?
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) in Microsoft Purview refers to the set of policies and tools that enable the automatic identification, monitoring, and protection of sensitive data against accidental or malicious leaks in the Microsoft 365 environment.
Does the SC-5003 training cover Endpoint DLP?
Yes, the SC-5003 training covers Endpoint DLP which allows monitoring and controlling actions on workstations, such as copying to USB drives, printing sensitive documents, or transferring to unauthorized applications.
What types of sensitive data can be protected with Microsoft Purview?
Microsoft Purview can protect any type of sensitive data through preconfigured information types (credit card numbers, personal identifiers) and custom types you create based on your organization’s specific needs, such as AVS numbers or Swiss IBANs.
What is the difference between sensitivity labels and DLP policies?
Sensitivity labels classify and individually protect documents (encryption, restrictions). DLP policies monitor data flows across communication channels and block or warn when sensitive information is shared in violation of defined rules.
What is Exact Data Match (EDM)?
Exact Data Match is an advanced Data Loss Prevention technique that compares detected data against a specific dataset from your internal databases. It enables precise detection of data such as customer numbers or employee IDs, with a minimal false positive rate.
Where can I take this training in Switzerland?
ITTA offers the SC-5003 training in-person in Geneva and Lausanne, as well as virtually. All three formats include access to Microsoft cloud labs and official MOC course materials, with guidance from MCT certified trainers.
What are the prerequisites for the SC-5003 training?
Basic knowledge in Microsoft 365 administration and security and compliance concepts is recommended. Familiarity with the Microsoft 365 administration portal and Exchange Online, SharePoint, and Teams services is a plus.
