We use Purview and have word docs protected by information protection that encrypts the docs at time of sending/creation.

When a user uploads doc for e-signature it fails.

What is best process to enable the user to sign these docs?

Because the document is encrypted, Docusign does not have the ability to remove protection or read its contents. Consequently, uploads for e-signing will fail.  You might want to create a dedicated “signable” Label or Policy.
