Enable Sensitive Data Classification for ISO 27001 Compliance

Learn how DLP-01 helps you meet ISO 27001 requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.

Organizations pursuing ISO 27001 compliance need to address enable sensitive data classification as part of their security program. The DLP-01 control maps directly to ISO 27001 requirements, helping demonstrate compliance while strengthening your security posture.

How DLP-01 Addresses ISO 27001 Requirements

ISO 27001 requires organizations to implement controls around enable sensitive data classification. The DLP-01 control provides:

  • Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels are configured
  • At least 3 sensitivity levels are defined (e.g., Public, Internal, Confidential)
  • Labels are applied to sensitive data in SharePoint and OneDrive

These measures directly support ISO 27001 compliance by ensuring proper data_protection security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy ISO 27001 requirements with this control:

  • **Enable the control** - Follow the manual configuration steps
  • **Document your implementation** - Record how the control was configured
  • **Maintain evidence** - TrueConfig automatically logs compliance status
  • **Monitor continuously** - Track any deviations from the expected state

Evidence Collection

For ISO 27001 audits, you'll need to demonstrate:

  • Current configuration state
  • Historical compliance data
  • Remediation actions taken
  • Continuous monitoring in place

TrueConfig provides all of this evidence through its audit trail and reporting features.

Why This Control Matters for ISO 27001

Without data classification, you cannot protect what you cannot identify. Sensitivity labels enable targeted protection policies, ensuring sensitive data receives appropriate controls regardless of where it is stored or shared.

Implementing DLP-01 is an important step toward ISO 27001 compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to ISO 27001 requirements.
