How Azure Information Protection secures your data

Azure Information Protection protects documents, emails, and sensitive company data through clever classification, permission settings, and encryption. Keeping everything safe within your businesses, and when shared with external contacts.

Data classification

Configure organisation policies to classify, label, and protect your data based on its sensitivity. Classification can be automated based on recommendations.

Protection that follows your data

Classifications and protection stays with your data within and without your businesses. Documents are encrypted, with controlled access, on your OneDrive for Business, and Outlook integration means documents sent via email require the receiver to confirm their identity before opening.

Visible control

IT teams have access to detailed logging and reporting tools. Activities taken on data are visible, audtible, and access can be revoked at any time.

Safe collaboration

Define who can access data, their access rights (eg view, edit, share, or print), and how information is accessed by external contacts. The combined features of Azure Information Protection mean you can be re-assured your data is safe.

One key aspect of Azure Information Protection encrypting emails, and attachments, when they leave your organisations. Both P1 and P2 work in the same way, delivering seamless, transparent, encryption.
An employee writes an email in Outlook, flagging the message as protected, or includes a protected document as an attachment.
Office 365 examines all outgoing emails. When one is found flagged for encryption, or with a protected document, the contents are placed on a secure Microsoft server.
Instead of receiving the original email, the recipient is sent a simple message informing them a secure message has been sent, and asking them to confirm their identity.
Recipients with Office 365 accounts can confirm their identity within Outlook, with the full message then being displayed.
Non-Office 365 recipients are directed to a secure Microsoft website where they can log in, or if needed create, a Microsoft account to confirm their identity and view the message online.
Azure Information Protection is included as standard in selected Office 365 services.

Azure Information Protection P1 is included with Microsoft 365 E3 and Enterprise Mobility + Security E3
Azure Information Protection P2 is included with Microsoft 365 E5 and EM + S E5
