What defines what happens when content matching the conditions is identified?

The term that specifies the actions taken when content meets certain defined conditions is referred to as actions. In the context of Microsoft Information Protection and similar frameworks, actions determine the operational response or measures that are implemented in relation to the identified content or data. For instance, actions could include notifying stakeholders, applying specific protections, or enforcing retention requirements when certain types of data are detected.

Understanding the role of actions is crucial in establishing an effective information protection strategy, as they help in automating responses to compliance or security incidents, ensuring that appropriate measures are taken in real-time to mitigate risks associated with data exposure or breaches.
