Summary
This module introduced you to sensitivity labels and how Microsoft 365 uses them to help protect sensitive data. So why the need for sensitivity labels? Well, to get their work done, people in an organization collaborate with others both inside and outside the organization. By doing so, content no longer stays behind a firewall. It can roam everywhere, across devices, apps, and services. And when it roams, it should do so in a secure, protected way that meets its organization's business and compliance policies.
This module explored sensitivity labels from the Microsoft Purview Information Protection service. These labels let you classify and protect your organization's data. They also enable organizations to ensure that user productivity and collaboration remain unencumbered.
All Microsoft Purview Information Protection solutions are implemented by using sensitivity labels. You learned in this module how create and configure the sensitivity labels that you want to make available for apps and other services. For example, the labels you want users to see and apply from Office apps.
You then examined how to create one or more label policies that contain the labels and policy settings that you configure. It's the label policy that publishes the labels and settings for your chosen users and locations.
By completing this module, you can now describe how sensitivity labels let you classify and protect your organization's data. You should also be able to identify the common reasons why organizations use sensitivity labels and how to configure a sensitivity label's scope.
This module also examined why the order of sensitivity labels in your admin center is important. The module concluded with a discussion on what label policies can do.
