Questions to Microsoft

  • How do I protect PII for GDPR, etc.

The Way The MS Solution Was

Point solutions in market today:

  • O365 information protection
  • Windows information protection
  • Azure information protection

An incomplete solution because they are point solutions.

MIP unifies these solutions. A new unified UI.

Specialised Workspaces

  • Microsoft 365 Security Center: security.microsoft.com
  • Microsoft 365 Compliance Center compliance.microsoft.com

Clients

Obvious support on Windows Office. Now on Office/Mac and coming to Office/Mobile. Should be GA on all clients by the end of the year.

SharePoint Online will be showing labels, etc when creating sites/groups. Can apply retention labels in SharePoint Online too – auto-classification will determine if a retention policy should be applied.

Beyond Office 365

Windows Information Protection is a Win10 feature. Difference between company and personal data. Can apply rules to company data. Data (since 1809) will understand MIP labels applied to a file. If you try to copy/paste info from a protected file to Twitter, for example, Windows 10 will prevent that. Or if you try to attach the file in Outlook personal, or Gmail, etc. It will also prevent a copy to USB – no more superglue!

Compatibility for Existing AIP Customers

  • New M365 E3 customer can configure labels using the SCC portal. Can try out MIP-enabled AIP add in on Windows. Support coming to Mac and Mobile.
  • M365 or existing AIP customer can use AIP portal.

Customers will be transitioned over time.

Azure Information Protection Scanner

Scan:

  • File server shares
  • SharePoint Server 2010, 2013, 2016

Can discover data and force labelling/protection of documents.

I got bored here – “demos” that were just screenshots on PowerPoint. Weak!
