How to Implement Microsoft Purview for Data Calssification and Data Loss Prevention
How you can use Microsoft Purview to strengthen data governance, reduce risk, and protect sensitive information across Microsoft 365 and beyond.
The session focused on the growing challenges organisations face, including accidental data loss, BYOD risks, use of AI tools, and increasing legal and regulatory obligations. We outlined how Purview provides a practical, scalable way to classify, protect, and monitor data—without over‑burdening staff or disrupting day‑to‑day operations.
we also highlighted common “leaky taps” that contribute to data breaches such as USB usage, personal cloud storage, webmail, and unapproved AI tools and discussed on how Microsoft Purview, combined with Conditional Access and retention policies, can significantly reduce exposure.
