### 2. Compliance Inclusion

### 3. DLP Integration
 [Data Loss Prevention (DLP)](https://www.miniorange.com/data-loss-prevention-dlp) is a custom integration that helps prevent data breaches, even against the most advanced threats such as website security breaches, spam, phishing attacks, and more. It seamlessly integrates with Office 365 applications and can be extended to safeguard on-premise applications.

## How Microsoft 365 CASB for Enterprise Security Works? {#working-of-casb-sol}

Let’s say a company is using [Microsoft Teams](https://www.miniorange.com/blog/ms-365-casb-for-microsoft-teams-security/) for daily meetings and information workflow. To enhance cloud security, they've implemented **IP restrictions** through a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), whitelisting all IP addresses associated with their network.  

&nbsp;

Suppose there are 2 users: **Tony** and **Joe** in the organization. Tony is on the company network and Joe is outside the company network working remotely.

A CASB solution can be configured to allow or block users with Microsoft 365 restrictions.

&nbsp;

**Here's how it works:**

- Since Tony is on the company network, the CASB solution will whitelist his IP address. Hence, he will be **authorized to use the Microsoft 365 apps**.

&nbsp;

- Since Joe is not on the company network, the CASB solution will not whitelist his IP address. Hence, he will **not be authorized to access any of the Microsoft 365 apps**.
