You don’t need a perfect data classification framework to start protecting your information, and waiting for one often means nothing gets done.

This introductory session takes a simple, grounded, incremental approach to implementing sensitivity labels and data classification across Microsoft 365, with a focus on real-world adoption and usability.
We’ll cover:
* What sensitivity labels actually do (and how they impact Copilot and search)
* The biggest mistakes organizations make when starting their labeling journey
* How to define a simple, effective classification scheme (without overcomplicating it)
* How to get started, and more importantly, how not to get started
* Balancing usability with protection to drive adoption
* Building toward a scalable governance model over time

By the end, you’ll have a clear, actionable path to start classifying and protecting your data, while laying the groundwork for better compliance, security, and Copilot outcomes.
