sensitivity labels

About this tag
Sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview are a core information protection feature for Microsoft 365, enabling organizations to classify and protect documents and emails based on sensitivity. Recent updates expand label enforcement to block Copilot content analysis, detect labels inside ZIP archives, support user-defined permissions in Office for the web, and extend controls to Microsoft Entra security groups. These changes address gaps between classification and enforcement, particularly as AI tools like Copilot introduce new governance challenges. The tag covers label-based DLP, guest access control, and real-world incidents where labels interacted with Copilot bugs, highlighting the evolving role of sensitivity labels in enterprise security.
