Correct answer & explanation
✓
Implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to control data flow between connectors.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies are a core governance feature in Power Platform that allow administrators to classify connectors as Business or Non-Business, preventing data from flowing between prohibited groups. This protects sensitive data from being inadvertently shared across services like SharePoint and third-party APIs, which is essential for enterprise compliance and security.
