Which service should be incorporated to ensure secure classification of sensitive documents in an organization?

Incorporating Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies is essential for ensuring the secure classification of sensitive documents within an organization. DLP policies enable organizations to define rules that identify, monitor, and protect sensitive information. By classifying documents based on the sensitivity of the data they contain, DLP helps prevent accidental sharing or exposure of critical information, thereby enhancing data security.

DLP policies can be configured to create alerts, block actions, or enforce encryption based on predetermined criteria, such as document types or specific keywords. This proactive approach to information security minimizes the risk of data breaches and ensures compliance with various regulations related to data privacy.

While other services mentioned play important roles in an organization’s cybersecurity framework, they do not focus specifically on the classification and protection of sensitive documents as directly as DLP policies do. For instance, Microsoft Compliance Manager assists with compliance management and reporting but does not directly enforce protection measures on sensitive documents. Microsoft Sentinel is a SIEM tool that focuses on threat detection and response, and Azure Policy is used to enforce governance policies across Azure resources. However, neither of these addresses the classification and safeguarding of sensitive documents with the same level of targeted ability as DLP policies.
