Enable Sensitive Data Classification for Zero Trust Compliance

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

Zero Trust compliance requires implementing specific controls around enable sensitive data classification. This page explains how TrueConfig's DLP-01 control helps you meet Zero Trust requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.

How DLP-01 Addresses Zero Trust Requirements

Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust compliance by ensuring proper data_protection security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust

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 Zero Trust compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to Zero Trust requirements.
