Microsoft Purview
[edit]Microsoft Purview is a group of tools and services that the company offers. Its goal is to assist businesses in controlling and managing their data. The program is available online through the website "https://purview.microsoft.com". Be aware that in order to use this software, you must have a Microsoft 365 E3/E5 subscription or its equivalents. Instead of targeting consumers, it is marketed to big businesses.
Core Uses of Purview
[edit]Microsoft Purview offers several main functions to help companies handle their digital information and data.
1. Data Discovery and Cataloging
[edit]- Description: This function involves tools that scan a company's data sources (like servers, cloud storage, and various applications) to find out what kind of data exists and where it is located. It can then create a sort of map or inventory of this data and catalogues them.
- Purpose: Helps organizations understand the full scope of their data. This is a first step to managing it properly. It also allows them to access their files even if they are deleted.(NOTE: This is only for a short period of time. About 1-3 years.)
2. Information Protection
[edit]- Description: This involves applying labels and protection to data based on its sensitivity. For example, data can be labeled as "Confidential," "Internal," or "Public." Based on these labels, actions like encryption (making data unreadable without a key) or restricting access can be automatically applied and enforced.
- Purpose: Aims to prevent sensitive information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals or being leaked. This is for important for large companies. As well as preventing loss of data.
3. Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
[edit]- Description: DLP helps monitor data that is being used or moved. They can identify when sensitive information (like credit card numbers, health records or blueprints) is about to be shared inappropriately, such as being emailed outside the company or copied to an external storage device. These can then be blocked or reported.
- Purpose: Designed to reduce the risk of data breaches, whether they happen by accident or if someone is trying to take data they shouldn't.
4. Compliance Management
[edit]- Description: Companies often have to follow specific laws and industry regulations about how they handle data (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA). Purview includes tools to help organizations meet these requirements. This can involve features for data retention (how long data is kept), eDiscovery (finding data for legal cases), and audit trails.
- Purpose: Helps businesses stick to legal and regulatory obligations concerning data, which can avoid fines and other penalties.
5. Insider Risk Management
[edit]- Description: This function focuses on identifying potential espionage activities by people within the organization. It looks for patterns of behavior that might suggest data theft, accidental leaks, or other policy violations by employees or contractors. (Industrial Espionage)
- Purpose: Aims to detect and mitigate risks originating from individuals who have legitimate access to company systems and data.
6. Data Lifecycle Management
[edit]- Description: This concerns managing data from its creation to its eventual deletion. This tool can help automate how long data is kept, when it's archived, and when it's disposed of, based on company policies and regulations.
- Purpose: Helps ensure data is not kept longer than necessary, which can reduce storage costs and risk. It also helps with compliance for data retention rules.
Overall Purpose
[edit]Microsoft Purview is a full suite of products made to assist businesses in managing, protecting, and governing their data in a variety of settings, such as software as a service (SaaS), multi-cloud, and on-premises. Addressing the issues of data fragmentation, lack of visibility, and the growing complexity of data security, governance, and compliance is its main goal.
