Azure Information Protection

Azure Information Protection (AIP) is a cloud-based solution from Microsoft that helps organizations classify, label, and protect their sensitive information. AIP allows users to apply classification labels to documents and emails, which can enforce specific protection settings based on the sensitivity of the data.
