Compliance Center

The Microsoft 365 Compliance Center is the legacy name for what is now the Microsoft Purview portal (purview.microsoft.com). It's where administrators configure data governance and compliance features across Microsoft 365: sensitivity labels, retention policies, data loss prevention (DLP), eDiscovery cases, audit search, insider risk management, and communication compliance. The rebrand to Purview happened in 2022 as Microsoft consolidated its data-governance products under a single brand, but you'll still see "Compliance Center" in older docs and screenshots. The corresponding admin role is "Compliance Administrator," which gates access to most of the configuration in this portal.
