Data classification for M365
Prevent oversharing of sensitive data in OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams and data exposure through Copilot.
Managing Microsoft 365 data is more complex and risky than ever
Microsoft 365’s collaboration features—combined with AI tools such as Copilot—introduce data security and compliance risks. Sensitive information is often exposed through overshared links and weak access controls. Regulated data such as personally identifiable information (PII), payment card industry (PCI) data and protected health information (PHI) can spread unchecked across emails, documents and Teams chats.
Copilot amplifies these risks by surfacing data from across the tenant, sometimes reusing confidential content that users didn’t intend to expose. Without data classification, access hygiene and AI-aware data loss prevention (DLP) controls, organizations risk breaches, compliance violations and insider-driven data loss.
Unmatched discovery and classification of M365 data
Complete visibility
Proofpoint Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) delivers clear and full visibility of sensitive data across Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
Fast, accurate classification
Using an Al-powered, agentless scanner, DSPM delivers the most accurate data classification on the market. It identifies and classifies valuable and sensitive data in place, with unparalleled speed and accuracy.
Clear visualization of user access
DSPM maps user resource access and visualizes it in detailed data access graphs. Administrators get the insights they need to enforce least privilege access.
Simplified data governance
Support for Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labels helps you enforce data governance policies, ensure compliance and secure information against unauthorized access or misuse across all your Microsoft environments.
Fast and safe Copilot adoption
DSPM ensures that GenAI tools such as Copilot use the right data. Continuous visibility of sensitive data use across AI services ensures safe and compliant adoption and use.
