How Microsoft Purview Safeguards Your Data
Lifecycle Protection for Your Data
Microsoft Purview provides end-to-end lifecycle protection for your data, ensuring that sensitive information is identified, classified, and safeguarded at every touchpoint. From discovering data stored in cloud environments or on-premises systems to preventing data loss through intelligent policies, Purview creates a unified framework that adapts to the evolving needs of your organisation. With built-in capabilities for automatic data classification, Purview allows organisations to detect and secure sensitive information at scale, streamlining data protection efforts across the enterprise.
Preventing Accidental and Inappropriate Data Sharing
One of the most significant risks organisations face is the unintended or inappropriate sharing of sensitive data. With Microsoft Purview Information Protection, organisations can mitigate this risk by applying flexible and automated protection actions such as encryption, access restrictions, and visual markings. These measures ensure that sensitive information remains secure, even if shared with external parties or across hybrid environments.
By leveraging Purview’s comprehensive protection capabilities, Cloud Collective enables businesses to create a secure environment where data sharing is controlled and monitored. Whether your organisation is operating across Microsoft 365, on-premises systems, or third-party platforms, we ensure that your critical data is protected at every level.

Windows Information Protection (WIP) focuses on securing corporate data across employee-owned devices, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected even in a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environment.
