What the notice says
Microsoft's text, with its sections, lists and tables; source markup removedWhat and Why
Based on customer feedback, Microsoft Purview network data security policies can be created and managed without configuring pay-as-you-go, regardless of the integration partners. These collection and DLP policies help discover and protect sensitive data shared with unmanaged cloud apps and websites (including AI) through browsers, applications, add-ins, APIs, and other channels.
Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access Internet Access is included with the appropriate per-user, per-month licensing and works without pay-as-you-go. Integrations with non-Microsoft SASE and secure browser partners still require pay-as-you-go. Customers can create and configure policies for these non-Microsoft integrations, but the integrations will not function until pay-as-you-go is configured.

Rollout Schedule
Global: We will begin rolling out on late September 2026 and expect to complete by late October 2026.
Impact on Your Organization
This change becomes available automatically in your tenant as it rolls out. Administrators can then create policies to protect text and files sent and received through network traffic using Entra Internet Access without requiring a pay-as-you-go subscription. Existing inline web traffic Purview policies applied to the network continue to work without interruption.
