operation of Office 365 Advanced Data Governance features is
an important part of this process.
Labels Activity Explorer
The Label Activity Explorer is now generally available. This
provides real-time data that lets you investigate risky label
activity and verify that labels are being applied to content as
you intended. Use this information to increase confidence
that sensitive data has been detected, classified, and retained
according to your organization's policies. Filter on labels applied
at either the file or folder level to learn more about activities and
changes. Once you find the label and file or folder of interest,
you can investigate further by reviewing details such as the
user who applied the label, file name, and parent site. If you
have the right permissions, you can even access the in-place
content directly. With Microsoft Office 365 Advanced Data
Governance tools, you can now find and retain data that is most
important while eliminating redundant, obsolete and trivial
data that could cause risk if compromised. Office 365 Advanced
Data Governance applies machine learning to intelligently
deliver proactive policy recommendations; classify data based
on automatic analysis of factors like the type of data, its age and
the users who have interacted with it; and take action, such as
preservation or deletion.
Office 365 Advanced Data Governance uses machine-
assisted insights to help meet organizational compliance by
enabling administrators to import, find, classify, set policies,
and act on the data that is most important to an organization.
High-value content across Exchange Online, SharePoint
Online, OneDrive for Business, and Skype for Business is
efficiently protected based on an organization's policies or
on legal requirements. You can classify, set policy, and act
on the data that is most relevant for your organization, with
recommendations driven by behavioral analysis and machine
learning. ILTA
