Course Overview

Microsoft Purview plays an important role in protecting organizational data by combining data classification, sensitivity labels, Data Loss Prevention, Insider Risk Management, and data-focused security controls. A well-designed Purview deployment can help organizations reduce data exposure while supporting security operations and Zero Trust initiatives.
