Microsoft Information Protection: Exact Data Match to support auto-labeling (client-side)

Originally posted by Microsoft Jul 15, 2021 Microsoft 365 suite 0 Comments

Organizations will soon be able to configure new or existing client-side auto-labeling policies using Exact Data Match (EDM) sensitive information types, enabling more granular control over labeling sensitive content.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 82071

When this will happen:

Rollout will begin late July and is expected to be complete by mid-August.

How this will affect your organization:

Tenant admins in the commercial cloud will be able to configure EDM sensitive information types in their client-side auto-labeling policies for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

What you need to do to prepare:

Tenant admins can create new or update existing client-side auto-labeling policies to use EDM sensitive information types, either from the Microsoft 365 compliance center or by using a cmdlet.

Learn more:

• Create custom sensitive information types with Exact Data Match based classification.
• Automatically apply a sensitivity label to content in Microsoft 365.
