Microsoft Purview
Microsoft's unified data governance, compliance, and risk management brand.
Microsoft Purview is Microsoft's unified brand for data governance, compliance, and risk management. It bundles previously separate products — Microsoft Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, Records Management, Compliance Manager, eDiscovery, Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance, Information Barriers, and Data Map (formerly Azure Purview) — under a single portal at purview.microsoft.com. Replaced the older Microsoft 365 Compliance Center brand in 2022. Most Purview capabilities are gated by Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance, or standalone Purview add-on licences. Purview is the answer to "how do I govern, label, retain, and audit content in Microsoft 365."
