Azure Information Protection Content Based Automatic Classification Azure Information Protection allows organizations to classify, label, and protect data at the time of creation or modification. With Azure Information Protection, users can: Classify data based on sensitivity and add labels—manually or automatically. Encrypt sensitive data and define usage rights when needed. Apply protection easily without interrupting their normal course of work. The organization also has access to detailed tracking and reporting to see what’s happening with the shared data to gain more control over it.
