A database leak can end a company in a week.

Microsoft Entra Sensitive Data is built to stop that from happening. It brings identity, access, and data classification into one control plane. Every request to sensitive data passes through a verified identity check. Every permission is scoped to the minimum needed. Every action is logged. This is not optional security; it is enforced security.

With Entra Sensitive Data, sensitive fields in your database—like customer details, payment info, or health records—are tagged and protected. Classification rules detect and label data at rest and in motion. Permissions for these resources are bound to roles and policies that adapt in real time. You can set conditional access based on risk signals and user context. If something changes—a device is compromised, an unusual query is made—access can be revoked instantly.

The integration with Microsoft Entra ID means identities from across your organization and partners are unified. You get consistent policy enforcement across APIs, apps, and storage. Audit trails are immutable, so you can trace every step taken with protected data. Alerts are built in, so if a policy violation occurs, your team knows in seconds.

Using Microsoft Entra Sensitive Data also reduces compliance overhead. Security controls map to common standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. Automated reporting turns audits from a manual scramble into a repeatable process.

Security for sensitive data is more than encryption. It is knowing exactly who accessed what, when, and why—and being able to cut off that access the moment it looks wrong. That is the real value of Microsoft Entra Sensitive Data.
