Build a sensitivity-label structure users can understand and consistently apply.
Keep labels understandable
A small, clear hierarchy usually works better than a complex taxonomy.
Define protection behavior
Document encryption, access, marking, sharing, and downgrade rules.
Use automation selectively
Apply recommended or automatic labeling where confidence is high.
Test collaboration
Validate internal sharing, external recipients, mobile use, and application compatibility.
Measure adoption
Review labeling patterns, user feedback, overrides, and policy incidents.
