What is Sensitivity Labels?

Sensitivity labels are used to classify and protect organizational data. They enable you to define categories of sensitivity for data and apply policies based on those categories. Common uses include classifying documents and emails based on their content (e.g., 'Confidential', 'Public'), applying encryption or access restrictions, and marking content with headers, footers, or watermarks. Sensitivity labels help ensure data is handled appropriately according to its sensitivity level, reducing the risk of data breaches and improving compliance.
