The Azure Information Protection unified labeling client is now generally available

Maayan Naaman Rand – thank you for replying. It’s not always the case that MSFT people are open for discussing things.

Let me answer one by one, too:

1. Custom permissions – it looks there will be an equivalent of current feature. However could you please confirm that “user defined permission” will allow to put just domain name like @mydomain and not only a specific e-mail address? This would make a huge difference.
2. Track and revoke – good to know that some similar experience is under development; the current one is a big selling point for AIP/MIP – so be careful by removing it or by replacing it with some less convenient experience.
3. Information Protection title and tool tip – first check the screencast (https://redflagpl-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/seb_redflag_com_pl/EbeCljvMySdAtzVH6ZIFyqwBPQxFpEvJjD9qLV7J8eQs_A), we need to make sure we refer to the same functionality. If yes, then there is a bunch of arguments to rethink the strategy:
   1. Title provides a simple advice for end-user WHEN to apply the specific label/protection
   2. Sublabel tip provides more detailed RESULT of applying the label/protection that are difficult to remember! There are more than few – actually 13 – different permissions to be set – PRINT/EXTRACT/DOCEDIT… Then an additional parameter for “lifecycle” of the labeled doc – like removing access after 100 days from applying the label or additionally X days after last check on RMS.

So, it helps to apply strict and specific labels for GDPR (edit or view only), internal docs or external time limited docs (like tender offers).

1. DNF – if InfoSec is a real priority then the DNF deserves a “one click” button – that makes the protection just an “one click away” operation. Another selling point for M365 and against competitive solutions.

These are my views on InfoSec. I’m not convinced, we can really influence the direction MSFT is going. Just take it as a market insight and please cross check it with your telemetry data. But pls consider the adoption curve before you disable our key and unique selling points for info sec @MSFT.
