Classify and label documents so protection travels with the data wherever it goes.
Data classification starts with a short classification policy - for example Public, Internal, Confidential and Restricted. Sensitivity labels then apply that policy to documents and emails in Microsoft 365, with auto-labelling for content such as card numbers so users do not have to decide every time.
With Microsoft Purview Information Protection, document labelling can add encryption and rights management, so a confidential file stays protected even when forwarded outside the company. Labels feed DLP and data governance reporting and are central to Copilot readiness, controlling what AI assistants can surface.
Discover, monitor and block sensitive data leaving through email, web, cloud apps and endpoints.
Encrypt disks, files and databases, and manage the keys centrally and securely.
Reliable, immutable backups and fast recovery to keep the business running after ransomware or outages.
DLP, encryption, information protection and backup & recovery.
Data classification is the process of organising data into categories such as Public, Internal and Confidential based on sensitivity, so the right protection and handling rules can be applied.
Sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview are tags applied to documents and emails that can add visual markings, encryption and access restrictions, and that DLP and Copilot respect.
Microsoft 365 Copilot can surface any data a user can access. Classifying and labelling sensitive content first prevents oversharing and lets you block confidential data from AI processing.
