Compliance retention and protection

Question

Hi,

In Office 365, I need to be able to protect emails and documents through either encryption when leaving the organisation or by restrictions such as preventing modification to the file or saving a copy etc. I also want to create retention policies for emails and documents.

In the Microsoft Purview Information Protection section I can create a label where if used the email/document is encrypted for example.
Is this same label used for retention or does a separate label have to be created for retention policies within the Data Lifecycle management section in Microsoft Purview.
Would a customer then have to select both labels for the restriction and the retention to apply.

Is it possible to have one label that does everything?

Regards,

Matthew Ridley

Thanks for your post.

I believe that you are talking about WaterMark set up for office... Please correct If I am not mistaken.
