What is Microsoft Purview?

Data is essential for every business. But to drive innovation and growth, data must be easy to find, understand, control, and secure.

However, 42% of organisations report that at least half of their data is “dark” – meaning it is unused or unknown for business purposes. This problem has worsened with the move to hybrid work, unprecedented levels of digital transformation, and environments that span many different devices, apps, and clouds.

While there are many products that address parts of the data protection, governance, and compliance landscape, they often don’t integrate well, creating infrastructure gaps and increasing the complexity and costs of management.

Microsoft Purview was built to address these challenges. It’s a platform-based approach that enables information protection, data governance, risk management, and compliance across multicloud, multiplatform data estates. The Microsoft Purview family consists of unified solutions across:
