Classify Data for Sensitivity or Retention

Find Data Wherever It Lives

“The Microsoft Purview data catalog provides a powerful way for users to find relevant data, even if they do not know where the data resides. Users can enter a variety of search parameters in the Purview search bar. These include data type, data classification, keywords, and glossary terms.”

Monitor Data Activities

“In addition to improving data visibility for data consumers, Microsoft Purview provides essential tools for data governance stakeholders. Through the dashboards and reports provided with Purview Data Estate Insights, administrators can view key insights about tagged content and actions that users take with sensitive data.”
