Microsoft Security CISO Workshop: Unlock the Power of Microsoft Purview: From Data Discovery to Protection

Posted : 29 September 2026

Posted In : Webinars

If your organisation relies on Microsoft 365 to store, share and collaborate on information, do you know where your sensitive data resides, how it is being used, and whether it is adequately protected?

Sensitive data is spread across emails, documents, Teams chats, SharePoint sites and cloud applications. As organisations embrace AI and increasingly digital ways of working, understanding where sensitive information lives has become critical to reducing risk, maintaining compliance and enabling secure innovation.

The challenge is that you can’t protect what you can’t see. Without clear visibility into your data estate, organisations can struggle with oversharing, data loss, regulatory requirements and governance concerns. A modern data protection strategy requires more than manual processes. It requires intelligent discovery, classification, protection and governance capabilities that scale with your business.

In this exclusive Softwerx webinar, we’ll demonstrate how Microsoft Purview helps organisations discover, classify and protect sensitive information across Microsoft 365. We’ll also showcase our Purview QuickStart approach, designed to accelerate the implementation of sensitivity labels, custom classifiers, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies and governance controls. You’ll discover:

  • How to identify and classify sensitive data across your Microsoft 365 environment
  • The role of sensitivity labels, custom classifiers and DLP policies in reducing risk
  • How Microsoft Purview supports compliance, governance and data protection initiatives
  • Practical steps to accelerate your Purview deployment with a proven QuickStart approach
  • How effective data governance lays the foundation for secure AI adoption

Because the first step to protecting your data is knowing where it is.
