In this post, Shelley Bougnague of Cloudficient discusses where Microsoft Purview fits in the Microsoft 365 compliance stack and where it struggles!

As discussed in her post titled Microsoft Purview: What It Is (and Isn’t) Designed to Do (available here), Shelley reviews where Microsoft Purview fits in the Microsoft 365 compliance stack, what it does exceptionally well, and where organizations start to struggle, especially when legacy data enters the picture. 

Purview is powerful, but it is also purpose-built around a specific operating model. In practice, that means it works best with current, in-platform Microsoft 365 data, assuming content is created, classified, and governed inside Microsoft 365 from day one. That design choice is both its biggest strength and the source of many real-world challenges.

A couple of key takeaways to note about Purview:

• Microsoft Purview is designed first and foremost for live, in-platform Microsoft 365 data. 
• Its strongest capabilities emerge when governance policies are applied at or near data creation. 

So, what are five other key takeaways to note about Purview? How does Microsoft Purview fit into the Microsoft 365 big picture? And where do organizations start to struggle with Purview? Find out here, it’s only one click! Clicking requires no struggle! 😉

So, what do you think? Is your organization finding Microsoft Purview challenging? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
