gain control over your data before it becomes a liability with a unified data governance solution

microsoft purview

Organizations today face an overwhelming surge in data — from cloud apps, collaboration platforms, devices, and legacy systems — with limited visibility into where sensitive information resides or how it’s being used. Fragmented tools, growing regulatory demands, and insider risks only make things harder. Without the right governance, organizations can’t protect what they can’t see and that’s a risk no one can afford.

A risk management analyst confidently examines sensitive datasets in Microsoft Fabric, supported by Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention policies that safeguard client privacy and prevent misuse.

What is Microsoft Purview and why it matters?

Microsoft Purview is an integrated data governance, compliance, and risk management solution that helps organizations discover, classify, protect, and manage their data wherever it lives. Whether you're dealing with compliance audits, insider threats, or AI and analytics initiatives, Purview helps IT and business leaders get ahead of risk, simplify complexity, and unlock value from trusted data. Purview connects data silos, applies consistent policies across environments, and helps teams make smarter, safer decisions all through a single, unified platform.

Improve data visibility, trust, and usability across your business

Most organizations struggle to get a clear picture of what data they have, where it resides, and how it’s being used. Purview builds a dynamic, searchable data map that catalogs assets across cloud and on-prem environments. With built-in lineage tracking, sensitivity labels, and ownership metadata, teams can discover reliable data faster, trust its integrity, and unlock its value for analytics, AI, and strategic decision-making.

Centralize governance for complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments

Managing data across Microsoft 365, Azure, third-party clouds, and on-premises systems can quickly become fragmented and unmanageable. Microsoft Purview unifies governance by applying consistent policies and monitoring across the entire data estate. IT and security leaders gain a centralized view of data risks and controls, reduce reliance on disconnected point solutions, and ensure consistent oversight no matter where the data lives or who is accessing it.
