It helps you configure the system and even offers ideas on how to resolve important security concerns in an organization. It lists out all the issues that happen when we move data from the cloud to on-premises. It gives you a detailed view of the known issues and helps with industry standards so that the cloud features completely align with on-premises. We can see whether our data security is matching the industry standards. It even offers prompts and ideas on items that you may not even have been aware of. It provides us with ideas on how to improve our proficiency in handling data in the cloud. And you can add notes for others in the reporting feature, so if there are any issues, others can refer to them. The fact that Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments is also important to us. We have most of our data on Microsoft but part of our data, our university websites, for example, is on Amazon AWS. We move data between clouds and also from on-premises to the cloud. There is no other mechanism to check if this data is moving according to industry standards for such things as * security * bandwidth * SSL encryption mechanism. We would not be able to see these metrics without Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager. It gives you a dashboard on how to improve your setup on the Microsoft cloud or even AWS. And it gives us the same information if we push data from on-premises to cloud. Also, our users have a mix of operating systems. Most use Windows but there are also people who use macOS and Linux. With Purview, we can easily find the issues in Linux or more complex operating systems like macOS. We are notified of all issues with the help of Purview Compliance Manager.

The data classification, sensitivity labeling, and regulatory compliance capabilities are all very useful. They provide compliance with industry-specific regulations such as HIPPA, CCPA, and GDPR and can help us with future policy enforcement. We can enforce various policies, including data governance policies. Also, we can establish custom policies. We have direct access control. We can control our data in terms of sensitivity labels. If it is a high sensitivity, we can label it so. We can also manage data retention and deletion. Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments. It has good integration with third parties, including GCP. It also integrates very easily with Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft solutions. Purview can connect with iOS, Mac, Android devices, et cetera. This is important for us as we have different types of employees. Some are using Windows only. Others are on Mac. We can have a unified enforcement policy no matter the platform they use. We have different types of data connectors present. We can use GCP or AWS, and they would be supported. It provides cover for a wide range of sources, including those on the cloud and on-premises. It provides classification, cataloging, and data mapping. We can integrate all of our tools together. Since we can bring all sources together, we can more easily manage everything. It helps with our ISO and other types of compliance. We can follow worldwide or US standards. We can also integrate with reporting tools like Power BI and can enable organizations to leverage business intelligence. AI does provide us with some useful suggestions for what compliance to follow. It can advise on what policies to implement and follow, and we can look at the information right on the dashboards. It saves time in terms of compliance. If you had to do everything manually, it would take a lot of time. However, this helps with automation. We might have saved 20% to 30% of our time overall since it's helped reduce manual work. A lot of the compliance is automatically set up by Purview if we configure it that way. It really does have the potential to help us stay on top of compliance.

It's helped us reduce the number of solutions we need. The majority of our work, especially in our infrastructure, is simplified. Their data classification and data labeling are good. The insider threat features are useful. We were looking for those options in other vendors, and once we used Purview, we really liked it. The user experience is quite phenomenal, especially after implementing DLP. It provides data protection across multi-cloud environments. We're a financial company. We keep our data in a secure manner, and processing data is essential. In phases two and three, we're hoping to use it in more broader applications. In phase one, we are focused on Microsoft 365 and InTune. Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure Dynamics and Office 365 is great. We need the active integration of Microsoft. It takes into account critical regulations from around the world. As a finance company, we need to follow international and local regulations as part of our compliance. It's great for data loss protection for remediating policy violations. We can set how people block or if there is an alert or policy violation, and it's all handled under automation. We have a monthly one-hour webinar that explains DLP, how to use labeling, et cetera. It took us about a year to realize time to value. We've done some reporting on how we've improved the processes in terms of data. Purview helped to reduce the number of solutions that need to interact with each other. We don't need to have a lot of solutions anymore. It's helped us create visibility into our estate. We have more visibility of data and how it is being shared. We use the solution's AI and automation. We use CoPilot. It helps with speed and accuracy; however, I cannot say just yet by how much. CoPilot recently has been enabled. We'll need a couple of months to realize the impacts. We can show our compliance in real-time. It gives us up-to-the-minute visibility on how data is being used and processed. We can act on insider threats thanks to the alerts and visibility. We're hoping we'll be able to reduce any insider threats. We've reduced it so far by 50%. The solution has helped us save time and money. We have an enterprise agreement that offers good pricing. We've been able to effectively stay on top of compliance using the best solutions, including this product.
