Businesses: Protect your data with Retention policies & labels in Microsoft Purview!

Retention policies and labels in Microsoft Purview are designed to help businesses protect their sensitive data. Retention policies help businesses keep track of the data they have stored, and labels provide an easy way to classify data so that it can be easily identified and protected. By implementing these policies and labels, businesses can ensure that their data is properly protected and managed, reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents. 

Additionally, businesses can use Purview to monitor how their data is being used, allowing them to make sure that their data is kept secure and compliant with data protection regulations.
