Know your data.
Govern your data.

The problem
Most organisations can't answer three basic questions.
Purview answers all three, then enforces the answer. Without it, every other security investment rests on assumptions rather than controls.
Where does our sensitive data live?
Who can reach it?
What happens to it over time?
What Purview does
Protect it. Govern it.
Protect
Know what you hold, and stop it walking out the door
- Information Protection. Sensitivity labels that travel with the file, applying encryption, access limits and markings.
- Data Loss Prevention. Policies across email, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, devices, browsers and other cloud apps.
- Data Security Posture. One view of where sensitive data sits, how it moves, and what to fix first.
- Insider Risk Management. Detects data theft, leakage and risky departures, with privacy built in.
- Adaptive Protection. Controls tighten automatically for risky behaviour and stay light for everyone else.
Govern
Keep what matters, dispose of what doesn't, prove both
- Data Lifecycle Management. Retention and deletion applied automatically by age, content, location or business event.
- Records Management. Declare records, run disposition reviews and keep proof of disposal.
- eDiscovery. Preserve, search, review and export content for legal matters without leaving your tenant.
- Audit. Activity logging for forensics and regulator response, with long-term retention available.
- Compliance Manager. Scored assessments against the Privacy Act, Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and more.
- Communication Compliance. Detect conduct and disclosure breaches across Teams, email and AI.
End to end
The data lifecycle, covered
Data protection isn't a single control. It's a chain, and a weak link anywhere undermines the rest.
01
Discover
Scan Microsoft 365, file shares and cloud sources to find what you actually hold.
02
Classify
Label data by hand or automatically, using built-in and trainable classifiers.
03
Protect
Encrypt, restrict access and enforce DLP wherever the data goes.
04
Retain
Keep records for the required period, from operational data to long-term obligations.
05
Dispose
Delete defensibly and keep the proof, cutting both risk and storage cost.
The foundation AI stands on
Copilot unlocks your data. Purview governs it.
Deployed together, they give you AI answers you can trust and act on. Without governance, Copilot is the fastest way to find data nobody should see.
Planning a Copilot rollout? Our AI Readiness Workplace Assessment covers both the controls and the value.

Local team
Perth-based consultants founded on compliance and audit, who assess, deploy and support.
Your data protection pathway
Start safe. Build up. Stay governed.
Safeguarded
Labels published, DLP in audit mode, baseline access controls.
Governed
DLP enforced, retention switched on, auditing in place.
Assured
Auto-labelling, trainable classifiers, event-based retention.
Optimised
All data sources covered, a clear operating model, continuous tuning.
Discover
A data security check across your tenant: sensitive data, oversharing and risky activity, ranked by exposure.
Design
Label taxonomy, retention schedule and DLP policies built around your obligations and workflows.
Deploy
Policies run in audit mode first, tuned against real data, then enforced, with users trained before go-live.
Operate
A governance rhythm your team owns: alert triage, compliance reviews and policy tuning.
Our rule: monitoring before enforcement, always. Nothing blocks your people until it has been tested against your real data.
