Description
Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Compliance Manager are distinct tools within Microsoft’s compliance and data governance ecosystem. However, both tools can be used in tandem to achieve a comprehensive governance and compliance solution.
Let’s briefly describe each:
- Microsoft Purview:
- Purpose: It is a data governance service that helps organizations discover, understand, and manage data across on-premises, multi-cloud, and software-as-a-service environments.
- Key Features: Automated data discovery, classification, and mapping; data lineage visualization; sensitivity labeling; and the ability to set data usage policies.
- Microsoft Compliance Manager:
- Purpose: It is a feature in the Microsoft 365 compliance center designed to help organizations meet complex compliance obligations like GDPR, ISO 27001, and others.
- Key Features: Provides a risk-based compliance score, offers actionable insights to improve your data protection posture, details about the regulatory standards, and recommended actions to achieve compliance.
Integration and Usage Together:
When using both tools together, an organization can leverage Purview to discover and classify data, then utilize Compliance Manager to assess the regulatory implications of that data, and get recommendations on meeting compliance standards.
For instance, after using Purview to identify and label data containing Personal Identifiable Information (PII), the Compliance Manager can provide insights and action points on how to handle such data to be GDPR compliant.
We will use the Compliance Manager to create Compliance Control Assessments that will help your company stand up to all your compliance needs.
