Data Protection & Classification
Protecting your data with sensitivity classification
Data classification services
Sensitivity-based data classification
The first step to protecting your sensitive data is to classify it based on its sensitivity. This way, you can identify where it’s stored and apply appropriate data governance and protection measures.
For your most sensitive content, information protection is about applying encryption and rights management that travels with your files and emails to ensure that only authorised people can view them.
If you’re not sure where to start, our data classification consulting services are here to simplify things. We’re a leading UK-based Microsoft partner with expertise in Microsoft Purview and an Advanced Specialisation in Information Protection & Governance.

Benefits of our data classification services
We can help you bring your data classification policy to life with easy-to-use controls. By implementing data classification and protection with Microsoft Purview Information Protection, you can better understand where your sensitive data resides and protect it wherever it travels.
Comply with standards
Implementing data classification and protection can help you meet the requirements of information security standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001.
Understand your data
Requiring users to classify files and emails helps you understand where your sensitive data resides. This is an essential first step towards effective protection.
Protect content anywhere
Applying encryption and rights management ensures that wherever a file or email travels, you retain control over who can view it and how they can use it.
Govern storage areas
Using sensitivity labels provides an effective way to tie access controls on SharePoint sites and Microsoft Teams to sensitivity, for example by ensuring that only employees using managed devices can access your most sensitive workspaces.
Automate classification
We can help you leverage a range of capabilities, including pattern matching and trainable classifiers, to label data automatically or recommend labels to users.
Provide layered protection
We can help you maximise the capabilities of information classification and protection by combining it with other tools, such as data loss prevention, to provide layered protection.
