Document Classification for Purview
Purview offers a smooth in-app classification experience for the end user. Sensitivity labels can be applied via the office app when the document is being created or saved. Manual classification has been around for several years and is the most reliable way to classify data in Purview.

This daunting task is not only challenging but also complicated to maintain over time. Consequently, many organisations opt to abandon auto-classification altogether, relegating the responsibility to end users to add sensitivity labels to documents manually.
However, correct and extensive automatic classification can significantly improve several Purview functionalities, including DLP and Data Minimization.

End-User Validation for Purview
When document classification is automated, you must have end-user validation. No, the IT department does not want to take the responsibility of deleting thousands of datasets without the user’s blessing. Purview is really good at manual classification—because it is built into the Office suite—but it needs tools for End-user Validation of automated classification.
Data & More End-user validation for Purview gives the data owners a complete overview of the data that has been auto-classified as non-compliant. The data owner can then use the report to mark documents as misclassified, private, or dispensation, depending on the individual’s needs.
The DPO can use Purview Reports to assess the compliance levels or the D&M dashboard, depending on the Purview adoption level.
Custodian Mapping for Purview (what you never knew you needed)
Proper data management requires that one (or more) person is responsible for a specific data repository. For Mail and OneDrive is pretty easy as it is the owner’s responsibility. However, with SharePoint and File-Share, this is often much more blurry due to the rotation and churn of employees.
Data & More offers a great tool to identify, manage and maintain “Custodians” – The best thing about custodian mapping is that it works by a risk-first approach – so you can start mapping the data that is a risk… and leave the rest for later.

Purview cannot apply sensitivity labels to emails at rest. In other words, Purview can only add sensitivity labels when mail is written or received. To clean up old emails, you will need the Data & More for Exchange, which can be bought separately HERE.
