Data Security Assessment

Data is crucial for businesses, providing insights, competitive advantages, and efficiency. The datasphere is expected to double by 2026, with data being stored and accessed in various locations, including on-site, in clouds, and on devices. The rise of generative AI apps will accelerate data production, increasing the need for data security and governance. Data security incidents are becoming more frequent and costly. Organizations face challenges in securing and managing data due to its growing volume and diversity. Many decision-makers lack visibility into their sensitive data. Effective data protection requires understanding how data is used and shared, as there is no one-size-fits-all strategy.

This assessment is one that helps land the Microsoft Purview vision and its value proposition with customer’s business decision makers. It is powered by the Data Security Check. The Data Security Check is a structured engagement that leverages a subset of Microsoft Purview products including Purview Content Search, Purview Data Loss Prevention, Sensitive Information Types, AIP Scanner, Purview Insider Risk Management, Purview Communication Compliance, and Purview Compliance Manager to gain visibility into existing, and at sometimes hidden, data security risks that may exist in the data that resides in the customer’s Microsoft 365 cloud environment.

Ultimately, the Data Security Engagement will help you understand how the Microsoft Purview Family can mitigate and protect against the real data security risks identified during the engagement.

Discovery and Assessment:

• Identify your key data security objectives and priorities.
• Conduct a thorough discovery of data security and compliance risks in your production environment, including stale and sensitive data, data loss, data theft, data leakage, insider risk, and risky user behavior.

In-scope activities for the Data Security Engagement:

• Pre-engagement meeting, an online meeting organized one to two weeks prior to the actual delivery activities to discuss upcoming activities, align expectations, discuss resource requirements, and establish timelines.
• Data Security Check, implementation and configuration of a subset of Microsoft Purview products and services to enable Automated Discovery of hidden data security risks that may exist in the organization’s data.
• Microsoft Purview portfolio overview, introduce the Microsoft Purview vision and outline Microsoft’s approach to providing integrated regulatory compliance.
• Recommendations and next steps, mapping the findings and risks that were identified by the Data Security Check to Microsoft Purview products and services, and defining actionable next steps for risk mitigation.

Deliverables for the Data Security Engagement:

• Data Security Check findings overview, lists and interprets data security risks identified by the Automated Discovery process and observed during this engagement.
• Data Risk Management recommendations, maps the observed data security risks by Microsoft Purview products with recommendations to mitigate impact and improve the organization’s compliance posture.
• Recommended activities and next steps, list of actionable next steps that will help improve your customer’s compliance posture and mitigate the identified risks.
