Microsoft Purview | Information Protection: Server-side auto-labeling using trainable classifiers (preview)

Now rolling out in public preview, we’re introducing the ability to utilize trainable classifiers in server-side sensitivity auto-labeling policies across key workloads (Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive). 

When this will happen:

This capability is now rolling out in public preview. 

How this will affect your organization:

Within the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, we have 15 ready-to-use built-in classifiers (English language) that can be used as a condition in server-side auto-labeling policies to discover and auto-label sensitive content matching these classifiers. More new classifiers are planned to be released shortly.

  • Microsoft Purview Information Protection can now use trainable classifiers in server-side sensitivity auto-labeling policies for files and emails in SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Exchange. 
  • Additionally, Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management can use trainable classifiers as a condition in server-side retention policies to detect and automatically apply retention labels on matching sensitive content in SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Exchange. 
  • Trainable classifiers can also be added to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention policies, and are supported across all DLP workloads, including SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Exchange, and Endpoint. 

Note: Simulation mode is also available for this feature, enabling admins to create a policy utilizing trainable classifiers, run and review the results of the simulation, and then turn on the policy. 

What you need to do to prepare:
