I dont deal with Macs, but support for RMS protection has been available since Office 2011. Here's a reference article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/get-started/requirements-applications

Labeling/classification is not yet supported on Mac afaik.

  This https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/deploy-use/configure-client confirms the lack of Mac support for the Azure Information Protection client:
  
  "For Mac computers and Windows Phone, links from this page download the RMS sharing apps for mobile devices. These devices do not currently support the Azure Information Protection client."
  
  The original https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2016/10/04/azure-information-protection-is-now-generally-available/ did commit to full Mac support, no ETA though:
  
  "We currently provide for the consumption of protected content on all platforms. In the near future we will also provide additional support for classification and labeling across other platforms including Mac, iOS, Android, and Web."
  
  Depending on how eager you are to pursue this, you could also ask in the private peer community at http://www.yammer.com/AskIPTeam. There is also the Cloud Platform https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/roadmap-recently-availablebut nothing posted there yet, under Enterprise Mobility.
