Why do we need Microsoft Purview if we already use Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Microsoft 365 Copilot can help your teams reimagine the way they work, but to get meaningful ROI at scale, you also need to protect the data that powers it. That’s where Microsoft Purview comes in.
Purview is designed to help you:
- Address data oversharing and data leaks
Purview gives you visibility into where content is overshared and where permissions are too broad. You can remediate excessive access before Copilot starts surfacing that data to more people than intended.
- Safeguard sensitive information
You can prevent Copilot from processing specific sensitive files and apply protection policies that help reduce the risk of data loss and insider misuse.
- Identify risky AI usage
Security leaders report that detecting risky users based on their AI queries is one of the top controls they want. Purview supports this by providing alerts, reports, and insight into risky behavior and AI use patterns.
- Strengthen AI governance
Many leaders want more confidence in how data is managed and discovered inside AI tools. Purview gives you risk visibility, audit trails, and governance controls so you can support regulatory, compliance, and internal policy requirements.
In short, Copilot helps you transform how people work; Purview helps you do it securely and responsibly at scale, with the visibility and controls that security, compliance, and risk teams expect.
