Real-World Use Cases
Understanding the Concept
Microsoft Purview addresses diverse compliance challenges across industries. From preventing financial data leakage in banking to protecting patient information in healthcare, the platform adapts to various regulatory environments.
Common use cases include: preventing accidental sharing of sensitive data, meeting regulatory requirements like GDPR or HIPAA, enabling secure collaboration with external partners, and maintaining audit trails for legal holds.
Organizations typically start with one use case (often DLP) and expand to other Purview features as they mature their compliance posture.
