Getting Contextual Summary from SIT(Sensitive info types) via PowerShell cmd
Hi, I am using a PowerShell command(Export-ContentExplorerData) to extract data from an SIT. In the response, I am getting most of the data but I am interested in getting the matching primary element from Contextual summary(Content explorer) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/export-contentexplorerdataHelp! Sensitivity label applied to whole tenant mistakenly with Watermark
We create a sensitivity label to have a watermark to be applied on the files on where it assigned but accidentally or due to misconfiguration, the watermark applied to whole tenant and the files, need a solution to automatically removed these watermarks from the files wherever it is applied. Please assist, TIA... .Sharing: All Built-in SIT categorised
So, Microsoft Purview gives you 313 built-in Sensitive Information Types (SITs)—yes, I counted! When I worked with an Cyber Risk auditor, one of their ask was categorizing all the items that we decided for it to be deployed. This was a bit of a nightmare, so I took one for the team and grouped them into three neat categories: PII, Financial, and Medical. Now, I’m sharing it with you so that my struggle can save you the headache. You’re welcome! Download the excel spreadsheet here: All SIT list and their categories.xlsx
Ingesting Purview compliance DLP logs to Splunk
We are in the process of enabling Microsoft purview MIP DLP for a large-scale enterprise, and there is a requirement to push MIP DLP related alerts, incidents and data to Splunk SIEM. Could not find any specific documentation for the same. researched on this and found below solutions however not sure which could work to fit in our requirement: Splunk add on for Microsoft security is available: The Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Security is now available - Microsoft Community Hub but this does not talk about Purview DLP logs. This add-on is available for Splunk but only says MIP can be integrated however does not talk about DLP logs: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4564 As per few articles we can also ingest Defender logs to Azure event hub then event hub can be connected to splunk. Above mentioned steps do not explain much about Ingestion of MIP DLP raw data or incidents. If anyone has done it in the past I will appreciate any input.
Sensitivity Labels not working as expected
Hi experts, I've been playing with sensitivity labels recently and I'm in testing phase currently having few ppl testing it for me before I officially deploy to all. However, it looks like there are few things that do not work as expected and I'm not sure why. Hope I can find some help here. Here is what I have configured and what is the experience during our testing Email should inherit sensitivity label form attachment I have label for documents set as required , and email is set to no default label and selected "inherit" label from attachment I have "Confidential\View Only" label that has allowed only "View rights / Reply / Reply all" allowed permission. Testing experience: For emails, when I attach a document with this label assigned, there is no restriction at all and I can forward, download, etc... and the recipient can forward with no issues. Looks like inheritance of label from attachments to email is not working at all. When I (as a recipient) download the attachment, I see that the document has restricted permissions (can't print, save, etc) so it looks it is working on the document level. "Confidential\Internal" label should be blocked I can share with external users via SharePoint ...and can even open it as external user with no issues at all.. Label access control nor DLP prevents this!!! Is there something I miss here? Not sure if important - I have "MS Entra for Sharepoint enabled" DLP is configured to check Sharepoint, Emails, OneDrive for "Confidential\Internal" for "content shared outside the organization" and "sensitivity label Confidential\Internal" and BLOCK it DLP works fine for emails with attachments labelled with this label, and it is blocked as expected Confidential\Internal is blocked in the outlook when trying to send email when I am sending an attachment with Confidential\Internal document in Outlook (New Outlook), I see a note about external users that needs to be removed. When trying to send anyway, it is blocked and I get a message below. Which is great however, another two testers do not get this experience and their email is blocked with DLP (mentioned above) only - which is nice, but the experience I get is much better as users can correct recipients instantly (FYI - I am using NEW Outlook - need to check later this week with the testers if they are on Old or NEW one) Its a bit of text, and I apologize... Wanted to describe is as best as I can 🙂 ... and hopefully help anyone else facing the same... Would be grateful for your help.... As the testing is super time consuming due to the fact that any change I make to sensitivity label and policy, I prefer to wait recommended 24 hrs to see if it had any effect.... Update: forgot to ask, why I see some "built-in" labels when creating emails? When I go to "More Options", in new email, I can see the below: When I go through New Email > Options > Sensitivity - I can see the labels I configuredAll the locations where you can find Sensitivity labels
Update (14-Mar-25): Removed Windows Explorer Here are the locations where you can find the sensitivity label of a document (if there are any that I've missed, please feel free to add it here) Sensitivity Label Button in the Document: In Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you can find the Sensitivity label button on the Home tab. This button allows users to apply or view sensitivity labels directly within the document interface. (Sensitivity label app on the upper right) Document Properties > Advanced Properties Sensitivity labels can also be found in the document properties. To access this, go to File > Info > Properties > Advanced Properties. Here, you can see detailed metadata, including any applied sensitivity labels. Sensitivity Label Column in SharePoint: In SharePoint, sensitivity labels are displayed in a dedicated column. This allows users to quickly see the sensitivity level of documents stored within SharePoint libraries (Removed) Windows File Explorer: - As it was rightly pointed in the comment section, this is a roadmap item that has yet to materialise. Mobile Applications: Office mobile apps for iOS and Android also support sensitivity labels, enabling users to apply and view labels on the go. Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal: Administrators can manage and view sensitivity labels applied across the organization through the Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal. This portal is only accessible to IT admins who has the right Purview role.New Place to Chat with the Microsoft Information Protection Team

File Plan/Retention Labels cannot be deleted OR found in content explorer
When we try to delete a Purview Records Management > File Plan label (or Data Lifecycle Management > Retention label), we get the following error: "You can't delete this record label because it's currently applied to items in your organization. You can use content explorer to determine which items have this label applied." (see attached image). When we go to content explorer to find the label (in this example, Bank Reconciliations), it doesn't appear to exist (see attached image). We also reviewed our Label policies and Retention policies, and the given labels are not associated with any policy that we can see. So, in result, we cannot clean up File Plan labels since we can't find and remove the association between them and policies / items. Has anyone encountered this error when deleting file plan retention labels, but then unable to find anything the label is associated with?
