Microsoft Data Protection and Compliance Implementation

Microsoft Data Protection and Compliance Implementation is a clearly scoped 8–12 week professional engagement focused on helping your organization establish a Zero Trust foundation for protecting sensitive data and meeting essential regulatory requirements using Microsoft Purview. This service delivers a defined set of configuration activities that improve data visibility, strengthen governance, and reduce the risk of unauthorized access or leakage.

The engagement includes foundational data classification and labeling using up to five sensitivity labels and three label policies. To support consistent identification of regulated or confidential content, we configure up to five sensitive information types (built-in or customer-selected), including up to two custom types if required. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities are enabled using up to three prioritized DLP policies across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams.

Compliance capabilities are established through the configuration of Microsoft Compliance Manager with three to five selected regulations. This includes generating an initial compliance score and providing a prioritized remediation plan. Baseline Audit, eDiscovery (Standard), and a single Insider Risk data-leakage scenario are configured to enhance monitoring and investigative readiness.

This engagement does not include managed services, ongoing monitoring, custom development, continuous support, or unlimited configurations. All activities are limited to the scope and deliverables described below.
