   [[-Name] <String>]
   [-Fingerprints <MultiValuedProperty>]
   [-Confirm]
   [-Description <String>]

Description

Sensitive information type rule packages are used by data loss prevention (DLP) to detect sensitive content in messages.

To use this cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell, you need to be assigned permissions. For more information, see Permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

Examples

Example 1

$Employee_Template = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('C:\My Documents\Contoso Employee Template.docx')

$Employee_Fingerprint = New-DlpFingerprint -FileData $Employee_Template -Description "Contoso Employee Template"

$Customer_Template = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('D:\Data\Contoso Customer Template.docx')

$Customer_Fingerprint = New-DlpFingerprint -FileData $Customer_Template -Description "Contoso Customer Template"

New-DlpSensitiveInformationType -Name "Contoso Employee-Customer Confidential" -Fingerprints $Employee_Fingerprint[0],$Customer_Fingerprint[0] -Description "Message contains Contoso employee or customer information."

This example creates a new sensitive information type rule named "Contoso Employee-Customer Confidential" that uses the document fingerprints of the files C:\My Documents\Contoso Employee Template.docx and D:\Data\Contoso Customer Template.docx.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
