Microsoft Purview Data Security and Compliance

Protect your data. Maintain compliance. Stay in control.

Data is one of your organisation's most valuable assets. As information moves across users, devices, applications and AI-powered services, protecting it becomes increasingly complex.

Microsoft Purview helps you understand where your data lives, reduce risk, meet regulatory requirements and create a stronger foundation for secure collaboration.

Trustmarque Ultima helps organisations use Microsoft Purview to strengthen data security and compliance without creating unnecessary friction for users. We focus on practical outcomes that support operational efficiency, regulatory confidence and long-term resilience.

Why data security and compliance matter

Many organisations are managing growing volumes of data across Microsoft 365, cloud platforms and third-party services. At the same time, regulatory expectations continue to evolve, and sensitive information is moving faster than ever.

Without clear visibility and governance, organisations can face challenges such as:

Sensitive information being shared inappropriately
Inconsistent data protection policies
Increasing compliance obligations
Limited understanding of data risk
Concerns around AI readiness and responsible data use

Microsoft Purview provides a unified approach to data security, compliance and governance, helping organisations make informed decisions about how information is protected, used and managed.

Microsoft Purview Readiness Assessment

The first step towards stronger data security is understanding your current position.

Our Microsoft Purview Readiness Assessment helps you gain visibility into your data landscape, identify potential risks and understand where improvements can deliver the greatest value.

Through a structured assessment, we help you:

Identify where sensitive information is stored
Understand current data security and compliance risks
Review governance and protection controls
Prioritise actions based on business impact
Create a practical roadmap for Microsoft Purview adoption

The outcome is a clear set of recommendations designed to strengthen security, improve compliance and support future transformation initiatives.

Prepare your data for AI

As organisations explore Microsoft 365 Copilot and broader AI investments, data governance has become a business priority.

AI can only deliver reliable outcomes when organisations understand their data, control access appropriately and protect sensitive information.

Our AI Data Security Readiness service helps organisations:

Identify oversharing and permission risks
Understand what information AI tools may be able to access
Review sensitive data exposure
Improve classification and governance practices
Establish stronger foundations for secure AI adoption

By combining Microsoft Purview with proven governance practices, we help organisations embrace AI with greater confidence and control.

Extending your AI governance journey

Microsoft Purview plays a critical role in helping organisations understand, protect and govern their data. These foundations become even more important as AI capabilities are introduced across the business.

Discover and understand your data

Gain greater visibility into your information estate. Microsoft Purview helps identify sensitive data, understand where it resides and assess how it is being used across your organisation.

Strengthen compliance

Support regulatory and internal compliance requirements through policy management, data lifecycle controls and compliance reporting.

Identify potential data security risks sooner and take informed action to reduce exposure.
