You can classify and protect your data with a combination of Azure Information Protection and Azure Rights Management.
Azure Information Protection can automatically classify your data by using clear text labels that are inserted into the metadata of a document, based on rules set up by the administrator.
Azure Rights Management uses encryption, identity, and authorization policies to help secure your files and email, and it works across multiple devices - phones, tablets, and PCs.
Information can be protected both within your organization and outside your organization because that protection remains with the data, even when it leaves your organization's boundaries.
When you activate Azure Information Protection, there are five default labels. They're Personal, Public, General, Confidential, and Highly Confidential. Implementing Azure Information Protection involves activating the service in the Azure portal, adding default labels to the default Global policy, and installing the Information Protection client software on users' computers.
