Opportunities**

Enhanced Data Security and Compliance
Implementing sensitivity labels for Azure SQL, Azure Data Lake Gen 2, and Azure Blob Storage allows for consistent data protection across multiple platforms, enhancing security and compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. This ensures sensitive data is adequately protected and access is controlled based on organizational policies.
   - next-steps: Prepare to create protection policies by reviewing existing data classification and sensitivity labels. Conduct training sessions for relevant teams to understand the new features and how to apply them effectively.
   - roles: Compliance Officer, Data Protection Officer, IT Security Manager
   - references: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/how-to-create-protection-policy, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?rtc=1%26filters=&searchterms=394282

Streamlined IT Operations
The introduction of a unified protection policy framework reduces the complexity of managing multiple data protection strategies across different platforms. This can lead to improved operational efficiency and reduced administrative overhead for IT teams.
   - next-steps: Evaluate current data protection processes and identify areas for consolidation. Develop a roadmap for transitioning to the new protection policies and ensure all IT staff are trained on the new system.
   - roles: IT Manager, System Administrator, Data Governance Lead

Cost Management during Preview Phase
Utilizing the public preview phase allows organizations to adopt the new protection policies without incurring additional costs, enabling a cost-effective approach to enhance data security before the pay-as-you-go model is implemented.
   - next-steps: Plan the implementation of protection policies during the preview phase. Monitor usage and gather feedback to assess the effectiveness and prepare for the transition to the paid model.
