The Purview Practitioner Podcast
Practical conversations about Microsoft Purview, data security, and AI governance, in plain language.
Everyone's racing to get AI deployed - Copilot, agents, all of it. But the moment you switch this stuff on, it finds everything. Every bit of permission drift, every folder somebody shared five years ago, every sensitive document sitting somewhere it shouldn't be.
This podcast takes you through a real data security journey - from visibility and classification through to DLP, governance, and enabling AI without it all falling apart. Short episodes, practical advice, no jargon.
Episodes
Insider Risk - the threat that's already inside
Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management - the detection layer that watches for risky behaviour patterns before they become incidents. And no, it's not about spying on your employees.
Governing your data lifecycle
Retention policies, retention labels, and how to build a retention strategy that actually works in production - because overkeeping is just as risky as oversharing.
Data Loss Prevention - stopping data walking out the door
DLP policies, simulation mode, endpoint enforcement, and why you should never start by blocking. A practical walkthrough of how to build DLP that actually works.
Taxonomy first, technology second
Sensitivity labels, taxonomy design, and why getting your classification right before touching technology matters more than ever with Copilot in the mix.
You can't protect what you can't see
Why visibility is the first step in any data security program - and what happens when you skip it.
