Applications

Microsoft Purview is used within organizations to better comply with laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, by automatically detecting and classifying sensitive data. This gives organizations immediate insight into where privacy-sensitive information is located and how it is used, which is essential for secure and compliant data processing.

In addition, Purview helps set up and maintain data classification across the entire data environment, ensuring that information is managed in a consistent and structured manner, regardless of its source or location. These capabilities make it easier to mitigate risks, maintain control over data flows, and provide transparency for audits and internal governance processes.

Purview’s power is further enhanced by its tight integrations with other Microsoft solutions. Thanks to integrations with Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft 365, and others, organizations can use Purview as a central hub within their broader security and data ecosystem. This allows data classifications, risk assessments, and policy rules to be automatically shared with these platforms, ensuring that security and governance work together seamlessly.

These integrations ensure that Purview not only provides valuable insights but also directly contributes to a cohesive, secure, and efficient data architecture.
