Grouping Data Loss Prevention (DLP) resources allows you to apply Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy rules to multiple resources at the same time. After you create a DLP resource group, you add that group to the Endpoint DLP policy rules that you configure. For example, suppose that you work at a company with corporate headquarters in the United States, but you want to apply a country-specific set of endpoint policy rules to the network printers in your Canadian branch office. In that case, you can create a DLP resource group that includes all network printers in the branch office, and then you apply the policy rules to the resource group you created.

To add a DLP resource group:

1. Go to Policies > Data Protection > Policy > Endpoint DLP Resources.
2. On the DLP Resources page:
