Monitor sensitivity tags

Updated

Sensitivity tags help you identify the data sensitivity of teams and groups at a glance. Create sensitivity tags and collaborate with team and group owners so the right security settings can be applied, and your data can remain secure.

Monitor how sensitivity tags are being applied and used from the Dashboard, Manage page, Activity page, and Policies.

Index

From the Dashboard

Select Dashboard from the sidebar, then select Sensitivity to view your Sensitivity tags dashboard.

Here you can find information on the evolution of sensitivity tags for teams in your environment, including trends over time, who is taking action, and what sensitivity tags are being applied.

For more information on how to get the most out of your Dashboards, check out Dashboard overview.

Tip: Watch for a Recommendation on sensitivity mismatches, so you can take action right away.
