Automate Information Governance with M365 AI and Machine Learning

Earlier this year we did a webinar explaining how to automate information governance and records management in Microsoft 365 (M365), and I will in this blog post explain Sensitive Information Types, Trainable Classifiers, and SharePoint Syntex in more detail.

M365 AI and Machine Learning options

Sensitive Information Types


As part of the E3 license, you have Sensitive Information Types with 200+ templates to identify sensitive information. You can also create your custom Sensitive Information Types and then apply Data Loss Prevention policies. Automating the retention or protection for sensitive information requires one of the E5 add-on licenses.

  • Goal: Identify sensitive information, stop or warn users from sharing or saving it, and automate the retention and deletion of it

  • Auto-classification approach: Keywords and proximities, Regular expressions

  • Deployment: tenant wide

  • Pre-built templates: 200+

  • Personas: Compliance admins

Sensitive Information Types

Trainable Classifiers


As part of the E5 license, you have Trainable Classifiers to identify more unstructured content like contracts, resumes, decision memos, etc. If you only have the E3 license, then the E5 Information Protection & Governance add-on license is the cheapest way to get access to Trainable Classifiers.

  • Goal: Automate the identification and classification of unstructured content to ensure compliance and reduce risks, e.g., auto-detect and apply short retention on resumes stored outside dedicated HR sites

  • Auto-classification approach: machine learning with minimum 50 positive samples and review of 200 samples

  • Deployment: tenant wide

  • Pre-built templates: Approx 5 and a lot more coming

  • Personas: Compliance admins

Trainable classifiers

SharePoint Syntex


SharePoint Syntex helps you identify semi-structured information and automate the extraction of data from the files. Syntex requires an extra license in addition to either E3 or E5.

  • Goal: Automate the identification and classification of semi-structured information (similar to Trainable Classifiers), but also automate data extraction.

  • Auto-classification approach: machine teaching with minimum 5 positive and 1 negative samples for auto-classification, but more for data extraction

  • Deployment: selected SharePoint sites

  • Pre-built templates: None

  • Personas: Information workers
