Data protection · Microsoft Purview

Know what you hold. Decide what may leave.

Classification, sensitivity labels, leak prevention, insider risk and lifecycle: I build your protection model from discovery to operations, and prepare the arrival of Copilot.

Discover

What data, where, since when, shared with whom: in Microsoft 365 and on your file servers.

Classify

A label model everyone can read, multilingual, with granular permissions.

Protect

Leak prevention on endpoints, cloud and email; encryption; sharing control.

Monitor

Insider risk, departing employees, abnormal behaviour, actionable alerts.

Retain

Retention, archiving, records, eDiscovery: keep what is needed, as long as needed.

Prepare for AI

Clean up oversharing and frame assistant access before deploying them.

What I do for you

Data protection

Strategy

Data protection roadmap

  • Tenant audit: policies, retention, volumes
  • Target classification model and detection scenarios
  • Information Protection then DLP trajectory, budgeted
Audit

Sensitive data discovery

  • Microsoft 365: sites, mailboxes, Teams, sharing
  • On-premises: scanner and mapping
  • Advanced detection: keywords, patterns, fingerprints, exact data match (EDM)
Implementation

Purview implementation

  • Labels, Endpoint and Cloud DLP, Insider Risk
  • Lifecycle, records, communication compliance
  • Rollout support and exception handling
AI

Copilot readiness

  • Data exposure assessment (oversharing)
  • Permission and site clean-up
  • Usage framework and assistant governance

The method, applied

Six steps, one thread.

A clear label model and reliable detections.

Where your data goes, and through which channels.

What an AI assistant could see today.

Method

  1. 01Scoping

    Understand the need, the stakes and the constraints. Set the scope, the actors and the expected results.

  2. 02Audit

    Observe the current state without assumptions: configurations, usage, documents, interviews and tool-based measurements.

  3. 03Analysis

    Confront the findings with frameworks and your objectives. Measure the gaps, qualify the risks, prioritise.

  4. 04Design

    Design the target and the path to reach it: architecture, governance, budget, licences, milestones.

  5. 05Transcription

    Translate the target into operational documents your teams and vendors can execute without me.

  6. 06Delivery

    Present, get stakeholder sign-off, transfer knowledge and support the implementation.
