Microsoft Purview and Data Governance
Use Microsoft Purview to discover, classify, and label sensitive data stored in Azure, and set up data loss prevention policies to prevent accidental leakage.
What Is Microsoft Purview?
Microsoft Purview is a unified data governance and compliance solution that brings together capabilities for data cataloguing, classification, labelling, and protection across an organisation's entire data estate. It covers on-premises data, Azure data services, Microsoft 365, and even data in other clouds. Purview gives organisations a single pane of glass for understanding where sensitive data lives and ensuring it is protected.
Microsoft Purview vs. Earlier Products
Microsoft Purview was formed by merging the former Azure Purview (data governance) and Microsoft Compliance Manager (compliance management) products into a single unified portal. The result includes two main areas:
- Purview Data Governance — discover and classify data across sources
- Purview Risk & Compliance — sensitivity labels, DLP policies, and insider risk management
