Summary

This chapter introduced you to the principles of managing sensitive information in Microsoft 365. We learned how to understand built-in SITs and create custom ones as well. We then created a sensitivity label with settings to apply to items, groups, and sites, and assigned it to users with a label policy. We also saw how to create an auto-labeling policy. Next, we learned how to use Activity explorer to track the labeling activity within your organization. Finally, you learned how you can apply sensitivity labels to Teams, SharePoint sites, OneDrive, and Microsoft 365 groups.

In the next chapter, you will explore DLP and how it can be used to safeguard your users from accidentally sharing sensitive content. This is done using rules and conditions that help users make the correct decisions when working with sensitive information.
