Why this course exists
The single most common finding on Copilot readiness assessments: the client "has sensitivity labels." Which means they published four labels in Purview and never got them applied to any actual files. Copilot reads unlabelled files. Copilot does not care that you have a label taxonomy sitting in a policy centre.
This course teaches the parts of Purview that survive contact with the reality of an enterprise M365 tenant. A label taxonomy design that users actually adopt (three labels, not thirty). Auto-labelling rules that don't misfire and generate hundreds of user complaints. DLP policies that include the Copilot location (the check that 90% of tenants get wrong). And the coverage measurement work that tells you "we have labelled 47% of files in scope" instead of "we have labels."
Curriculum
Each module includes video walkthrough, written reference, policy templates, and a knowledge-check quiz. Complete all eight plus the final exam to earn certification.
Three labels vs thirty. Sub-labels, when they help and when they confuse. Colour and marking conventions. Cross-tenant labels for B2B collaboration. The single question that determines your taxonomy: "will a rushed user apply this correctly in five seconds?"
Publishing scope by user, group, and location. Default labels vs required labels. Justification prompts. Adoption measurement. The three-phase rollout that gets you from 0% to 40%+ manual coverage without breaking user workflows.
Auto-labelling rules for common data types (SIN, credit card, health record numbers). Trainable classifiers. Confidence thresholds. Simulation mode. The controls that stop auto-labelling from silently labelling every internal doc as "Highly Confidential."
When built-in SITs are enough and when they aren't. Regex-based custom SITs. Dictionary matching. Keyword lists. Testing accuracy. How to write a custom SIT for your specific data type without generating false positives every hour.
DLP policy scope by location (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Devices, Copilot). Conditions and exceptions. User notifications and overrides. Incident response workflow. The four DLP policies every M365 tenant needs.
The Copilot location as a DLP scope. Restricting Copilot from summarising labelled content. Interaction with sensitivity labels and RCD. The single highest-impact DLP configuration decision most tenants get wrong — and how to fix it in fifteen minutes.
Content Explorer, Activity Explorer, and the Purview reports that actually reveal coverage. How to measure "what percentage of files in scope are labelled." How to report progress to executives without over-claiming. Baseline metrics and quarterly review templates.
Retention labels vs retention policies. Records vs regulatory records. Automatic retention based on sensitivity labels. The eight retention scenarios that cover 95% of Canadian SMB use cases (PIPEDA, provincial, sector-specific).
