Sensitivity labels
I want to publish sensitivity labels; use sensitive data types to automatically label files with a sensitivity label and then create DLP policies based on a label. Is all this possible now?
- Hi @Anthony Weaver
You can publish sensitivity labels
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels
You can automatically label files based on sensitive info type
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/apply-sensitivity-label-automatically
You cannot base DLP policies on sensitivity labels currently, only retention labels and sensitive content types. There is a uservoice open for it currently.

Hope that answers your question

- Hi Anthony_Weaver
Per Article
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/data-loss-prevention-policies
You can currently use only a retention label as a condition, not a sensitivity label. We're currently working on support for using a sensitivity label in this condition.
No timeframe given. Unfortunately no articles on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap yet
