Microsoft Purview: Information Protection – Auto-labeling Simulation Evaluation

🚨 The Signal: Purview auto-labeling now includes an AI-powered simulation grader. This helps security teams validate and refine data classification policies before deployment, improving accuracy and reducing misconfigurations.

The Impact

Security and compliance teams are affected, reducing the risk of misclassifying sensitive data.

• Security teams: Reduced risk of data exposure from incorrect auto-labeling.
• Compliance teams: Improved accuracy in meeting regulatory data classification requirements.
• Data owners: Greater assurance that sensitive information is correctly protected.

The Action

1. Navigate to Microsoft Purview compliance portal > Information protection > Auto-labeling policies.
2. Create or edit an auto-labeling policy and enable 'Simulation' mode.
3. Review the 'Simulation Grader' results for true/false positives and explanations.
4. Refine policy conditions or classifiers based on simulation feedback.
5. Promote the policy to 'Enforcement' with increased confidence.
