Microsoft 365 A5 Information Protection and Governance for faculty

Microsoft 365 delivers advanced Information Protection and Governance for faculty to help secure sensitive academic and institutional data across emails, files, and collaborative workspaces. This plan adds robust Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to prevent accidental sharing and restrict external access based on policy.

Use sensitivity and retention labels to classify, protect, and govern data throughout its lifecycle, supported by encryption and access controls. Gain visibility into where sensitive data resides and how it is used with activity insights and reports, helping meet compliance obligations.

Built on Microsoft Purview capabilities, it integrates with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange for consistent policy enforcement. Designed for education environments, it supports secure collaboration while reducing risk and simplifying compliance management.
