Since Microsoft Purview became generally available last fall, organizations have steadily adopted it, and for good reason.
Purview's data governance, risk management, and compliance features help deliver sound data security and are foundational for ongoing artificial intelligence implementations.
This is why Trustwave recently added the Accelerator for Microsoft Purview solution to its Microsoft Accelerator line up. This accelerator focuses on helping organizations maximize value and security outcomes from Microsoft Purview, a leading data governance and compliance solution.
The accelerator reviews sensitive information types (SITs) and data sensitivity labels and evaluates strategies to safeguard sensitive information more effectively.
Defining Microsoft Purview
Purview represents the evolution and consolidation of various Microsoft Security data management tools into a single platform. It includes a range of integrated data security, governance, compliance, and risk solutions.
Purview, which Microsoft now includes under a 365 E5 license, is a one-stop shop for all your data governance needs. With Purview, companies can manage data wherever it lives, on-prem or in the cloud, at rest or in motion.
For a number of years, data governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) has been increasingly important for all companies. In addition to simply being a part of any good cybersecurity strategy, GRC helps ensure compliance with various regulatory requirements around data, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and others.
However, with companies looking to implement or grow their AI applications, GRC takes on even more importance. Companies need to know that the data they feed AI applications is sound and untampered with and that it's within their provenance to use. GRC helps ensure this, and Purview helps make GRC more accessible as all required components are under one umbrella and one license.
This ability further enhances Trustwave’s already proven GRC capabilities, which were called out in IDC’s MarketScape: Asia Pacific Professional Security Services Vendor Assessment, in which Trustwave was named a Major Player.
“Trustwave delivers its wide assortment of professional security services by using a pragmatic approach based on real-world experience and data to provide security advisory services for boards and executives, architecture and operational support to security teams, and GRC capabilities to the wider organization” said Christian Fam, Research Manager at IDC.
Implementing and Managing Microsoft Purview
To fully benefit from what Purview offers, the first step is to properly implement the solution. This process can be a challenge, given Purview needs to "touch" every data source in your organization.
To properly install Purview, organizations must devise an effective way to catalog and classify their data. They also need a series of policies that dictate how various data types should be handled, including any restrictions and a way to monitor for any policy changes. Policies will likely need to be tuned over time to ensure the right balance between security risk and usability.
Trustwave Stands Ready to Help
Trustwave Accelerator for Microsoft Purview is an advisory service that provides a roadmap to accelerate value and security outcomes from Microsoft Purview. Trustwave cybersecurity experts will work with you and your team to optimize configurations and prepare for implementation, taking a pragmatic approach that helps to reduce the risk inherent in implementing any new software.
Additionally, monitoring alerts for data policy violations, potential threats, and ongoing tuning of Microsoft Purview shouldn't be overlooked. This can be an issue given that relatively few organizations have the resources required to staff a security operations center (SOC) that can monitor for alerts on a 24x7 basis, as is required given that you never know when a bad actor will strike.
GRC is crucial to the everyday operation of so many organizations and a foundational technology for AI applications. Purview represents a viable way to deliver GRC alongside numerous other Microsoft Security offerings.
Trustwave MXDR for Microsoft helps organizations that use Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM) detect, investigate, and respond to incidents across endpoints, cloud apps, identity, and office.
