Microsoft Purview is a comprehensive suite of solutions designed for unified data governance, risk management, and compliance. Its primary purpose is to help organizations discover, classify, protect, and manage their data across their entire estate, including Microsoft 365, on-premises systems, and other cloud environments. It combines capabilities like data classification, sensitivity labels, data loss prevention (DLP), information protection, and eDiscovery into a single, integrated platform. This enables organizations to meet regulatory requirements and protect sensitive information wherever it lives or travels.
