What Is Microsoft Purview?

Key Features

Information Protection
Classify and protect sensitive data with sensitivity labels, encryption, and content markings across Microsoft 365.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Detect sensitive information and apply policies that can warn users, restrict sharing, or block risky actions.
eDiscovery & Audit
Search and preserve relevant content for investigations while maintaining searchable records of user and administrator activity.
Retention & Records Management
Control how long business information is retained or deleted based on policy.

Information Protection & Sensitivity Labels

Sensitivity labels help classify and protect sensitive information across Microsoft 365. Organizations can create labels such as Public, Internal, Confidential, or Highly Confidential and apply protection based on the sensitivity of the content. Depending on how a label is configured, it can apply encryption, restrict access, add watermarks or other content markings, and help protect documents and emails even when they are shared outside the organization.
Serviona helps design and configure a sensitivity-label structure that reflects your actual business data, users, and security requirements.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for UAE Organizations

Microsoft Purview DLP helps identify and protect sensitive information such as Emirates ID numbers, IBANs, credit-card data, and other regulated or confidential content. DLP policies can monitor Exchange email, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, devices, and other supported locations, then warn users, notify administrators, restrict sharing, or block risky actions when sensitive data is detected.
Serviona helps configure DLP progressively, starting with monitoring and testing, then moving to enforcement once the policies are validated against real business workflows.

eDiscovery, Audit & Retention Policies

Microsoft Purview helps organizations retain business records, investigate activity, and respond to legal or regulatory requests. Retention policies and labels can help keep or delete content across Microsoft 365 according to defined business requirements. eDiscovery helps search, preserve, and review relevant content for investigations or cases, while Audit provides searchable records of user and administrator activity. Audit retention periods vary by licensing and configuration.
Serviona helps configure retention, audit, and eDiscovery around your organization’s legal, regulatory, and internal requirements rather than applying one blanket policy to everything.
