When suspicious behavior or a breach occurs, every second counts. Microsoft Purview Audit empowers your security and IT teams with immediate access to a complete, time-stamped trail of user and administrator activity across Microsoft 365. From file downloads and email forwarding to permission changes and login anomalies, you get the context you need to investigate faster and with greater confidence. Intelligent insights like MailItemsAccessed and search query logs help uncover not just what happened—but how, when, and by whom—reducing response time and improving incident containment.

As organizations embrace hybrid work, AI tools, and increased collaboration, maintaining oversight without stifling productivity is critical. Microsoft Purview Audit operates quietly in the background, continuously logging key events without interrupting how your teams work in Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and more. You gain full visibility into high-risk or non-compliant actions—such as mass file downloads, sensitive document access, or admin configuration changes—while employees stay focused on their work, knowing activity is monitored transparently and ethically.
