Information Protection
Organizations can discover, classify, label, and secure sensitive documents and emails with Information Protection. Admins can design rules and conditions for labels to be applied automatically, users can apply labels manually, or a combination of both can be used-with users given permission to apply labels.
Information Governance
Organizations can manage security risks with Information Governance by discovering, classifying, labeling, and governing their data. By providing retention and deletion capabilities across Microsoft 365 and third-party data, Information Governance helps organizations meet regulatory and business compliance requirements and reduce their attack surface.

Licensing for Microsoft 365 Information Protection and Governance
It is important to understand the complex licensing plans available through Microsoft. Microsoft released this to help licensing coordinators and tenants understand what features are covered by premium licenses. It is also possible to compare Microsoft 365 compliance comparison spreadsheet (Figure 2) to see which license covers what feature. In addition to identifying gaps in terms of desired features, the spreadsheet also shows licenses that tenants do not hold that cover those features.
