Microsoft Teams: Sensitivity label support for town hall and webinars (Premium)

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Teams now supports sensitivity labels for town halls and webinars. This allows organisers to classify event data, preventing accidental oversharing and enforcing data governance policies for live events, enhancing data protection.

The Impact

Organisers and security teams are affected, reducing the risk of sensitive information exposure in Teams live events.

• Organisers: Reduced risk of accidental data oversharing during town halls and webinars.
• Security Teams: Improved enforcement of data classification policies for live events.
• Compliance Officers: Enhanced ability to meet regulatory requirements for sensitive data handling.
• Attendees: Increased confidence that event content is handled securely according to policy.

The Action

1. Review existing Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels for applicability to Teams town halls and webinars.
2. Create or update sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview to include 'Teams meetings and calls' and 'Teams channels' if not already configured.
3. Communicate new sensitivity label capabilities and usage guidelines to event organisers.
4. Monitor label usage and compliance reports in Microsoft Purview for Teams live events.
