Sensitivity Labels in Microsoft Purview: Protection That Travels With the File
Firewalls protect the network. Labels protect the document itself. Even if a confidential file is forwarded, downloaded or copied to a USB stick, it stays encrypted and only the right people can open it.
Sensitivity Labels
- Price
- $3,500
- Labels
- Up to five
- Protection
- Encryption and markings
- Apps
- Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook
- Requires
- Business Premium, E3 or higher
Auto-labeling needs E5 or a compliance add-on.
The problem
Once a file leaves SharePoint, your permissions stop protecting it. Board decks, payroll exports and client contracts end up in personal inboxes and shared drives. Labeling projects often fail because they launch with dozens of confusing labels nobody uses.
The solution
We design a short label scheme, typically Public, General, Confidential and Highly Confidential, with encryption and access rules attached. We publish it to Office apps, set sensible defaults, and where licensing allows, auto-label files that contain sensitive information. Then we train your staff in fifteen minutes, not fifteen hours.
What is included
- Label taxonomy workshop with your leadership
- Up to five sensitivity labels with encryption and markings
- Label policies published to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
- Container labels for Teams and SharePoint sites
- Default labeling and justification for downgrades
- Auto-labeling rules (E5 or compliance add-on)
- Pilot with a small group before company rollout
- Staff training video and quick reference card
Sensitivity Labels & Information Protection
Covers one tenant and up to five labels. Requires Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3 or higher.
Pairs well with
DLP Policy Configuration uses your labels to block risky sharing. Teams & SharePoint Optimization fixes permissions first. Back to Purview services.
This project is right for you if
Confidential files travel
Board packs, payroll, contracts and pricing get emailed, downloaded and forwarded.
A labeling attempt stalled
Too many labels, too little training, and nobody uses them. We keep it simple.
Clients demand data handling
Contracts now require you to show how confidential client data is protected.
The cost of waiting: once a confidential file leaves your tenant unlabeled, you can’t pull it back. With labels, it stays encrypted wherever it goes.
Protect your most sensitive files wherever they go
Fixed price. Simple labels. Staff who actually use them.
