help Azure Information Protection FAQ
What does Azure Information Protection do for business files?
Azure Information Protection lets organizations classify sensitive files and emails with labels and apply protection rules around access. It is intended to keep information controlled after it leaves the original corporate storage location.
Is Azure Information Protection part of Microsoft Purview?
Microsoft has integrated the information-protection labeling experience into Microsoft Purview Information Protection. Organizations evaluating AIP should therefore check the current Purview licensing, labeling, and client terminology rather than treating it as a completely separate modern platform.
Can Azure Information Protection restrict who opens a document?
Protection labels can apply rights-management controls that limit access, editing, copying, or printing according to the organization's policy. The actual restriction depends on the label configuration and the user's Microsoft identity and permissions.
Can Azure Information Protection label email as well as documents?
Yes, the service was designed to classify and protect both files and emails. In a Microsoft 365 environment, labels can be surfaced through supported Office and Outlook workflows, subject to tenant configuration and licensing.
