A global manufacturing company needs to ensure that sensitive intellectual property (IP) contained in design documents is not inadvertently shared outside the organization. They also need to classify these documents so that only authorized personnel can access them, regardless of where they are stored or shared. Which Microsoft Purview capability best addresses these requirements?
- AMicrosoft Purview Information Protection
- BMicrosoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management
- CMicrosoft Purview Records Management
- DMicrosoft Purview eDiscovery
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Microsoft Purview Information Protection
Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) allows organizations to classify, label, and protect sensitive data like IP, ensuring only authorized personnel can access it and preventing unauthorized sharing.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Data Lifecycle Management focuses on managing data throughout its entire lifecycle, but Information Protection is the specific component for classification and protection against unauthorized access/sharing.
- C. Records Management focuses on retention and deletion of records, not on classifying and protecting data in transit or at rest from unauthorized access.
- D. eDiscovery is for legal holds and investigations, not for classifying and protecting data from unauthorized sharing.
