'DEP' exploit prevented in Microsoft Office Excel

Hi

 

Since a roll out of Sophos Central endpoint protection with Intercept X to a division of our company they are being blocked from using a set of Excel templates that they use daily to process work for our customers because of a "DEP exploit"

The templates use a set of embedded marcos to process the data entered into them and obviously Sophos is picking up thier actions as potential dangerous.

I can see that I can add a exploit exclusion to the threat protection policy and my questions is does this now leave excel open to other variations of this exploit?

Is excel still protected from other exploits?

I'm can only find the basic info on excluded expolits.
