How Data Classification with MIP Works

To integrate Enterprise Recon Cloud Data Classification with MIP, you must first perform the required configuration in Microsoft 365, and set up MIP credentials from Settings > Analysis > Classification in ER Cloud. When the Retrieve button is clicked, the selected Windows Agent verifies the credentials by attempting to retrieve the MIP labels published to the provided Microsoft 365 user. The MIP credentials are only stored if the MIP labels are retrieved successfully.

Upon successful configuration of MIP credentials in ER Cloud, MIP label information will be returned in subsequent scans for supported Target locations. ER Cloud users can then navigate to the Investigate page to view, apply, modify, or remove the MIP classification for match locations (refer to the View the Investigate Page section).

ER Cloud periodically retrieves the MIP sensitivity labels every eight hours to always maintain up-to-date information in the datastore. You can trigger a manual refresh of the MIP sensitivity label list by going to Settings > Analysis > Classification and clicking on the Retrieve button. The latest classification information will automatically be reflected for match locations in the Investigate page.

To start using the Data Classification with MIP feature, refer to the Integrate Data Classification (MIP) section.
