Enhanced Data Governance
The introduction of auto-labeling for Azure Storage and Azure SQL allows organizations to automate the classification of sensitive data, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations and enhancing overall data governance. This reduces the risk of human error in manual labeling processes.

   - references: https://learn.microsoft.com/purview/sensitivity-labels-frequently-asked-questions, https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=429876

Operational Efficiency
By automating the labeling process, IT teams can significantly reduce the time spent on manual data classification tasks. This allows them to focus on higher-value activities, such as data analysis and strategic planning, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.
   - next-steps: Train IT staff on the new auto-labeling features and policies. Monitor the effectiveness of auto-labeling and adjust policies as necessary to optimize performance.
