What is Microsoft Purview Records Management?
Microsoft Purview Records Management is a solution designed to help organizations manage their regulatory, legal, and business-critical records. It enables organizations to meet legal obligations, demonstrate compliance with regulations, and improve efficiency by regularly disposing of items that are no longer needed or valuable.
How do retention labels work?
Retention labels in Microsoft 365 allow users to mark items as records, which imposes restrictions on what actions can be taken with those items. These labels can be manually applied or automatically assigned based on sensitive information or content types. They help ensure a consistent approach to managing records across the Microsoft 365 environment.
What are the restrictions of regulatory records?
Items marked as regulatory records have strict restrictions, including that the retention period cannot be shortened after the label is applied, and the label cannot be removed by anyone, including global administrators. Additionally, these labels must be applied using retention label policies and cannot be auto-applied.
