Microsoft Purview Information Governance (Strategy)

Information governance ties Purview classification, protection, lifecycle, and insider risk into one coherent program so sensitive data is known, protected, governed, and defensibly retained - anchored to the Zero Trust Data pillar. This skill is about sequencing, not feature deep-dives.

When to use

Planning a multi-workstream Purview rollout, building a maturity roadmap, or rationalising an in-flight deployment that is delivering features in isolation rather than outcomes.

Do not use this skill for individual feature configuration - jump to the specific Purview skill (labels, DLP, lifecycle, IRM, DSPM for AI) once the sequencing question is settled.
