MC920308Microsoft Purview | Information Protection: Auto-labeling policies will support "Fingerprint based SIT"

Updated February 11, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Coming soon to Microsoft Purview | Information Protection: Admins will be able to use auto-labeling policies to automatically label files and emails with Fingerprint based SIT (sensitive info type).

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 396173.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late November 2024 and expect to complete by mid-February 2025 (previously early February). 

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout, admins are not able to use auto-labeling policies to automatically label files and emails with Fingerprint based SIT.

After this rollout, you can configure Fingerprint based SIT using the condition Content contains sensitive information types. Files that match Fingerprint based SIT will show in simulation.

Note: Contextual summary is not available for Fingerprint based SITs.

This change will be on by default and available for admins to configure.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review use cases and set up for configuring document fingerprinting.
