In this video, we build on the data classification work completed in Part 2 and start applying Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels to protect organisational data.
We’ll begin by configuring the prerequisites for Sensitivity Labels, including support for PDFs, video files, OneNote, and SharePoint/Teams integration. From there, we’ll explore how labels work, how to design an effective label taxonomy, and how to configure both manual and automatic labelling policies.
In this episode you’ll learn how to:
✅ Enable co-authoring for labelled documents
✅ Enable Sensitivity Labels for PDF files
✅ Enable Sensitivity Labels for video files (MP4)
✅ Enable Sensitivity Labels for OneNote
✅ Validate SharePoint and Teams label support
✅ Understand Sensitivity Label prerequisites
✅ Design an effective label taxonomy
✅ Deploy Microsoft’s default sensitivity labels
✅ Review label groups and label hierarchy
✅ Configure encryption and access controls
✅ Configure content markings and dynamic watermarking
✅ Create custom sensitivity labels
✅ Configure client-side auto-labelling
✅ Configure service-side auto-labelling policies
✅ Publish labels to users
✅ Configure default labels for documents, email and meetings
✅ Require business justification for label downgrades
✅ Understand label inheritance from attachments and meeting content
✅ See the end-user labelling experience in Microsoft Word
You’ll also gain an understanding of the difference between classification and protection, how label groups affect the user experience, and how Sensitivity Labels work alongside trainable classifiers and auto-labelling to build a scalable information protection strategy.
