Secure Cloud Access enables integration with Microsoft Azure Information Protection (AIP), which provides additional options for protecting your data. If you have a Microsoft Office account, you can use your Office 365 credentials to add an AIP integration connection and apply it as an action to any policy you create, for any of your cloud applications.

AIP enables use of Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS, also known as RMS), which is server software that addresses information rights management. RMS applies encryption and other functionality limitations for various types of documents (for example, emails, Microsoft Word documents, or web pages), to restrict what users can do with the documents. You can use RMS templates to protect an encrypted document from being decrypted by specific users or groups RMS templates group these rights together.

When you create an AIP integration connection, content policies you create provide an RMS Protection

action that applies protection as specified in the RMS template you choose for the policy.

You can use labels to identify specific types of protection to the documents in your cloud. You can add labels to existing documents or assign or modify labels when the documents are created. Labels are included in the information for the policies you create. When you create a new label, you can click the Sync Labels icon in the AIP Configuration page to synchronize your labels and enable the newest labels to be assigned.
