Managing Data Sensitivity with Label Management
Overview
Label management lets you classify and protect your data without hindering your productivity and ability to collaborate with others inside and outside the organization. With the help of Skypoint Label management, you can manage all the semantic labels in one location so that the user has a centralized location to manage the sensitive labels used across the Tenant. It becomes the architectural pillar for sensitive data management.

Skypoint AI provides a large number of pre-configured sensitive information labels. The system creates these sensitive labels from the different data sources. It detects sensitive information like Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to identify sensitive items. By default, the system-created labels are displayed as System in the Created by column. The System label cannot be edited. However, if the pre-configured sensitive information types do not meet your needs, you can create your custom label. The user-created sensitive labels are displayed as Admin.
- In the Labels overview tab, you can visualize and explore the sensitive information labels. You can measure and explore the sensitivity attributes as follows:
- Sensitive label for the Attributes
- Mapped and unmapped sensitive attributes
- Encrypted sensitive attributes
Edit and remove a sensitive information label
- Go to Dataflow > Labels.
Edit and delete functions are disabled for the System type sensitive labels. It allows deletion and editing for those custom labels that are not used in the Map process.
