Know Your Starting Point

"To outline a roadmap for achieving compliance, you first need to determine the current state of compliance in the organization. Conducting a proactive compliance audit can provide a starting point by highlighting risks and identifying areas for improvement."

Get Expert Advice with Guided Setup for Purview

"Microsoft offers setup guides to help organizations configure Microsoft 365 productivity tools and security policies and set up device management. The library of setup guides now includes a guide specific to the Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager."

Configure Alerts for Potential Compliance Issues

"The Compliance Manager dashboard displays a summary of active alerts. By default, Microsoft includes built-in alert policies for malware activity, possible admin permissions abuse, data lifecycle management problems and potential threats. Additionally, you can define custom alerts specific to your organization."

Protect Critical Data with Sensitivity Labels

"A key aspect of Microsoft 365 compliance allows the organization to apply sensitivity labels to protected data. Administrators can then create policies to monitor and govern that data. For instance, by applying a sensitivity label to protected health information, the organization can ensure against improper sharing or deletion."
