A typical DESSS Information Protection and Sensitivity Labels delivery runs 6 steps, with the final step reached around ongoing. Complex integrations, multi-entity scope, or regulated environments extend that — the discovery session produces a dated plan for your case rather than an average.
Every step closes with named deliverables — Audit findings, Auto-labelling rules, Configured labels, Data location map, Discovery report, Enforcement plan, False positive analysis, Handling rules — so progress is visible, auditable, and reviewable rather than a status colour on a slide.
