Microsoft 365 Information Protection – Enable Sensitivity Labels in Microsoft 365 Groups and SharePoint Sites

Recently M365 was updated to allow administrators to enable sensitivity labels in Microsoft 365 Groups and SharePoint sites.  This means that any container in M365 that is backed by a Microsoft 365 Group or SharePoint can have sensitivity controls applied to it.  This includes Microsoft Teams and OneDrive for Business.  Within this post we’ll walk through the steps for enabling sensitivity labels for your tenant’s M365 Groups and SharePoint site.

Microsoft 365 Information Protection – Overview

While writing a couple of posts recently I became a bit out of step with my intended schedule by discussing sensitivity for automated processes before actually discussing how Microsoft 365 deals with sensitive content.  This is fine if you are familiar with information protection within Microsoft 365, but for those of you who are not let me get back on track and discuss information protection concepts within Microsoft 365. This is the overview first in a series of posts that I will explain and demonstrate how Microsoft 365 protects an organization’s sensitive information.

Information and Records Management in M365 – Multi-Stage Disposition Reviews

Previously I provided an overview of record disposition in Microsoft 365.  Disposition reviews allow an organization to control if the content flagged for permanent deletion should actually be deleted.  The review provides the organization with a method to maintain content due to internal process changes, mislabeling the content, or data that is still active and shouldn’t be removed.  Before May of 2021, Microsoft 365 was only capable of single-stage disposition reviews for retention labels.  However, Microsoft 365 now supports multi-stage disposition revies by allowing up to 5 separate approval stages before the content can be permanently deleted from the environment.  We’ll cover that process in this post.  I would also suggest that you review some of the other enhancements that Microsoft 365 provides by reviewing the custom disposition configurations I also cover.

Information and Records Management in M365 – Custom Disposition Configurations

In May 2021, Microsoft announced the release of multi-stage disposition reviews.  This announcement was not limited to just the disposition review enhancements but other new features as well.  Included with the May release were other custom disposition configurations such as record manager enhancements (think disposition administrators) and disposition message customization.  The Microsoft announcement did just that, announced them.  In this post, I’ll show you what they are and how they work.
