Assessing the existing labelling schema and compliance requirements. Sensitivity labelling taxonomy is defined, and labels are applied across Microsoft 365 content—Exchange, SharePoint, Teams. Auto-labelling policies are configured and validated through test cases. To prevent data loss, collaboration with the client’s security and compliance teams to configure and tune DLP policies aligned to the organization's risk scenarios. Policies are tested in audit mode to minimize user disruption, then adjusted and deployed for enforcement.

User training and change management support are included to drive adoption and minimize operational friction. The engagement concludes with a validation review and documentation handoff.

Deliverables: • Sensitivity label taxonomy and implementation plan • Auto-labelling rules configuration • DLP policies for Exchange, Teams, SharePoint • Policy test logs and refinement report • End-user communication & awareness materials • Compliance and security stakeholder training
