Privacy & Information in Practise: Sensitivity, Sharing & Smart Safeguards

Managing privacy and information effectively is essential in today’s collaborative digital environments. This webinar will guide you through the practical application of sensitivity labels in SharePoint (using Purview Information Protection), with examples tailored to Canadian jurisdictions. We’ll explore common oversharing risks, how Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) can help identify red flags, and where eDiscovery fits into your compliance toolkit.

Using relatable scenarios—like HR records, contracts, and invoices—we’ll highlight what types of personally identifiable information (PII) are often at stake and how to manage sharing permissions responsibly. You’ll also hear real-world lessons from the field, including best practices and common pitfalls to avoid, so your team can confidently protect sensitive information.
