Data Compliancy


Microsoft recognise the importance of Data Security and the challenges organisations face to keep it protected so they created Purview. Purview allows you to get visibility of all your data and manage assets across your environment. You can also protect data across the cloud and identify risks and manage regulatory requirements. There are many elements as part of Purview including Data Map and Catalog, Data Lifecycle Management, Data Loss Prevention and Compliance Manager.

Compliance manager allows you to manage your compliance needs with ease and convenience. With workflow management, evidence cataloguing, regulatory assessment templates and the ability to attach compliance scores, versioning and control assessments. Data Governance is an important challenge but doesn’t have to be taxing. Let the technology help you keep compliant and secure with ease.

Purview Data Loss Prevention.


Data exfiltration is often a primary goal during cybersecurity attacks. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for endpoint plays a major role in helping organisations detect and prevent exfiltration through common processes used by attackers today.


Below is a summary of the actions ThinkShare can implement with Purview Data Loss Prevention:

  • Show a pop-up policy tip to the user that warns them that they may be trying to share a sensitive item inappropriately
  • Block the sharing and, via a policy tip, allow the user to override the block and capture the users’ justification
  • Block the sharing without the override option
  • For data at rest, sensitive items can be locked and moved to a secure quarantine location
  • For Teams chat, the sensitive information will not be displayed
