Microsoft Purview: Information Protection-Azure AI Search honors Purview labels and policies

Summary

Azure AI Search now ingests Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels and enforces corresponding protection policies through built-in indexers (SharePoint, OneLake, Azure Blob, ADLS Gen2). This enables secure, policy-aligned search over enterprise data, enabling agentic RAG scenarios where only authorized documents are returned or sent to LLMs, preventing data oversharing and aligning with enterprise data protection standards.
