What We Cover

Classification, sharing
and information governance.

Connect information handling rules with the technology and responsibilities needed to enforce them.

01

Information classification and protection

Identify sensitive information and define how it should be handled. We use Microsoft Purview Information Protection to design sensitivity labels and apply the protection each category needs.

  • Information classification and sensitivity label design
  • Label publishing and pilot deployment
  • Protection requirements for business and client information
  • User guidance and adoption considerations
02

Data loss prevention

Understand when sensitive information is shared or transferred inappropriately. We configure Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies across Microsoft 365 and supported endpoints, with testing before restrictions are introduced.

  • Microsoft 365 and endpoint DLP requirements and policy design
  • Audit and policy testing in simulation mode
  • Alert ownership and investigation procedures
  • Policy tuning and staged enforcement planning

Translate your information retention requirements into policies using Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management. We also review Microsoft Purview Audit and eDiscovery capabilities to support visibility and investigations.

  • Retention requirements translated into a configuration plan
  • Audit and eDiscovery capability review
