In Microsoft 365, data classification labeling is a system used to categorize and protect data based on its sensitivity. Labels help organizations define and enforce data handling standards, aligning with compliance and security policies. Here’s a quick rundown of the standard labels you’ve listed and whether they align well with MS365 best practices:
Default – This typically represents general data with no specific classification and minimal restrictions. MS365 doesn’t always require this as a label, but it can be useful for unclassified data.
Public – Used for data that can be freely shared without restriction. In MS365, “Public” data is accessible to all users and can be shared externally without added security controls.
Internal – For data intended only for internal use within the organization. In MS365, this often limits sharing to people within the organization but doesn’t apply heavy restrictions on internal access.
Confidential – For sensitive data that should be protected with controls to prevent unauthorized access. In MS365, this can include encryption and policies that prevent forwarding or external sharing, ensuring only authorized users have access.
Restricted – The highest level of classification, used for data that’s strictly controlled due to its sensitivity. MS365 can enforce policies like encryption, restricted editing, and blocking external access.
