Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal: Information Protection - Sensitivity Label support in Engage

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels can now be manually applied in Engage communities. This allows organisations to classify and protect sensitive data within Engage, controlling privacy and external access based on label policies.

The Impact

Admins and end-users are affected, with the security risk being improper data classification if labels are not configured or applied correctly.

• Security Teams: Risk of data exposure if label policies are not robust.
• Admins: Risk of misclassification if label publishing policies are not well-defined.
• End-Users: Risk of non-compliance if incorrect labels are applied to sensitive data.

The Action

1. Review existing Purview sensitivity labels for applicability to Engage content.
2. Create or modify sensitivity labels to include Engage as a supported location.
3. Configure label publishing policies to target relevant users and groups for Engage.
4. Communicate new labeling procedures and best practices to Engage users.
5. Monitor label usage in Engage for compliance and effectiveness.
