Protect your data. Reduce business risk.


Protect your data. Reduce business risk.

Sensitive business data moves through Microsoft 365 every day. Emails, documents, client records, financial files, contracts and internal information are shared across Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.

Microsoft 365 Purview helps your business find sensitive data, understand who can access it, and apply the right protection before data exposure becomes a business risk.

IT&T helps businesses use Purview as part of a practical Microsoft 365 security, Cyber Security, Risk and Compliance, and Copilot Readiness strategy.

Why Data Security Matters


Most businesses rely on Microsoft 365 every day, but many do not have a clear view of where sensitive information is stored, who can access it, or how it is being shared.

Over time, files are copied, permissions become messy, and external sharing increases. Without clear oversight, confidential information can move outside the business too easily.

Sensitive data is everywhere

Business information is spread across email, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.

Access is hard to control

Old permissions and oversharing can expose confidential information.

AI raises the risk

Copilot and AI tools make data visibility and access control more important.

Why It Matters for Copilot and AI


Microsoft Copilot can help staff work faster, summarise information and find content across Microsoft 365. But Copilot works with the permissions already in place.

If sensitive files are overshared, poorly classified or accessible to the wrong people, AI tools may surface information that should remain restricted.

Data visibility

Discover and understand where sensitive data lives across Microsoft 365.

Automatically identify and classify sensitive information.

Access Control

Ensure the right people have access to the right data.

FAQ


What is Microsoft 365 Purview?

Microsoft 365 Purview is Microsoft’s data security and compliance solution. It helps businesses find sensitive data, understand how it is being shared, and apply protection controls across Microsoft 365.

Is Microsoft Purview only for large businesses?

No. Any business that stores sensitive information in Microsoft 365 can benefit from better data visibility and control. It is especially useful for businesses in healthcare, legal, finance, not-for-profit and other sectors that handle confidential data.

How does Purview help reduce business risk?

Purview helps reduce risk by identifying sensitive data, controlling how it is shared, applying data protection policies, supporting audits and helping prevent accidental data exposure.

Why is Purview important before using Microsoft Copilot?

Copilot can access information based on existing permissions in Microsoft 365. If data access is not properly controlled, sensitive information may be easier to surface. Purview helps improve data visibility, classification and protection before AI tools are widely adopted.
