\"MicrosoftMicrosoft Teams is where collaboration and connection happen. The wide array of digital artifacts that come from our employees\u2019 day-to-day meetings\u2014things like recordings, transcripts, and shared documents\u2014need the same level of enterprise protection as the rest of our organization\u2019s proprietary material.<\/p>\n

Self-service sensitivity labels<\/a> give Microsoft Digital (MSD), the organization that supports, protects, and empowers our company, the power to enforce policies proactively and keep shared workspaces safe. With the recent launch of Microsoft Teams Premium, we\u2019re extending that power to meetings.<\/p>\n

We have a lot of data that gets generated within the Microsoft environment. There are different levels of security in terms of how much you can share across the organization or even externally with partners and guests, and we need a rationale for how that data can be shared.<\/p>\n

Self-service labels, proactive protection<\/h2>\n

Empowering self-service sensitivity labels helps every employee create the resources they need without engaging IT. To support this level of freedom, we rely on a strong governance strategy that identifies and protects valuable content. As a result, our employees can create the containers and content they need to stay productive while keeping our organization\u2019s data safe.<\/p>\n

Without labeling, you\u2019re forced into a one-size-fits-all model for your tenant. With that arrangement, your default is going to be either very restrictive or too open, either of which is a problem.<\/p>\n

A proper labeling schema enables actionable policies around the access level and shareability of enterprise data. And now that we\u2019re increasingly infusing AI into our work, clear labeling and policies<\/a> are even more important for ensuring digital assistants stay compliant.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Digital Security and Resilience (DSR) and MSD developed our internal system of sensitivity labels for classifying objects and containers. The labels provide clearly delineated governance, and they\u2019re simple for users to understand:<\/p>\n
