Microsoft Purview Data Map

The Data Map is the foundational layer of Microsoft Purview data governance: it discovers, scans, and maps metadata and classifications from data sources across Azure, multicloud, SaaS, and on-premises - powering the Unified Catalog, lineage, and downstream protection decisions.

When to use

Building an enterprise-wide inventory of data assets and their classifications as the basis for governance, security, and data product publishing.

Do not use this skill for in-tenant Microsoft 365 classification (use purview-data-classification) or for AI prompt visibility (use purview-dspm-ai).
