Microsoft Information Protection SDK

The Microsoft Information Protection SDK extends sensitivity labels to third-party apps and services. Developers can use the SDK to build built-in support for applying labels and protection to files.

For example, you might use the MIP SDK for:

  • A line-of-business application that applies sensitivity labels to files on export.
  • A CAD/CAM design application that provides support for built-in labeling.
  • A cloud access security broker or data loss prevention solution that reasons over data encrypted with Azure Information Protection.

For more information, see the Microsoft Information Protection SDK overview.
