Understanding MIP Labels

Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) is the unification of Microsoft's classification, labeling, and protection services:

• Unified administration is provided across Office 365, Azure Information Protection, Windows Information Protection, and other Microsoft services.
• Third parties can use the MIP SDK to integrate with applications, using a standard, consistent data labeling schema and protection service.

MIP technology integration allows adding labels to documents. The label may have any security policy assigned, for example, the policy to restrict access to sensitive documents.

Netwrix Data Classification for Files and Folders supports MIP labels as a Workflow action. After you run the classification procedure, you can mark your documents with labels. For example, you can apply protection labels that are available to members of your organization. Access to these labels may require authentication, such as a password.

You can apply the MIP labels to the file share and SharePoint sources. Specify this information using the Create a Workflow using Add Workflow Wizard. Review the following for additional information:
