20 Dec Maximising Microsoft Purview: Smarter Risk Management with InfoSure
Managing sensitive data isn’t just about finding it – it’s about understanding its context and taking decisive action. Microsoft Purview provides a powerful foundation for this by offering visibility into an organisation’s data landscape, as well as basic tools for managing risks and remediating files. InfoCentric’s InfoSure Data Protection Service builds on this foundation, delivering a comprehensive approach to sensitive information risk management, with particular focus on best practices remediation.
So what is Microsoft Purview?
Purview enables organisations to discover and classify sensitive data across their entire environment, from cloud storage to on-premises systems. Its tools help map data flows, enforce governance policies, and ensure compliance with regulations. These features provide a clear starting point for understanding and addressing data risks.
But for organisations that need to go further, InfoSure amplifies Purview’s capabilities by combining advanced scanning technology with expert remediation guidance.
How does InfoSure and Purview work together?
InfoSure can leverage Purview’s scanning capabilities to identify sensitive information at scale, pinpointing everything from standard data types like credit card numbers to organisation-specific information. By building on the insights provided by Purview’s scan – or integrating other tools as needed – InfoSure ensures consistent, actionable results tailored to any organisation’s unique data landscape.
What is unique about InfoSure?
What sets InfoSure apart is its hands-on approach towards remediation. Stakeholders are engaged to align decisions with organisational priorities, creating a shared understanding of the risks and next steps. Subject matter experts evaluate files in context, categorising them for retention, archival, or deletion. This process addresses not just the symptoms but also the root causes of data risks, enabling long-term improvements.
For instance, one organisation discovered that a team’s outdated workflows were responsible for creating a disproportionately large number of high-risk files. By addressing the source of the issue, both immediate risks and future vulnerabilities were mitigated.
The combination of Purview’s visibility and InfoSure’s expertise ensures sensitive data is managed effectively today while minimising future risks. Together, they offer a practical, scalable solution for navigating the complexities of risk management and data protection.
