Data Governance & Security · Microsoft Purview

Microsoft Purview

Know where your sensitive information lives, label it automatically, and stop it from leaking — a data-security foundation built into Microsoft 365 and tuned for Canadian privacy law.

Most organizations do not know what sensitive data they hold or where it sits — until an AI assistant surfaces it, or a breach does. Microsoft Purview turns that uncertainty into a governed system: information is classified, protected, and monitored automatically, so the right controls follow the data instead of relying on people to apply them.

What We Put in Place

A complete data-protection layer across your Microsoft 365 environment — classification, prevention, and the proof that it works.

Sensitivity Labels

A clear four-tier labeling scheme — Public, General, Confidential, and Highly Confidential — with encryption and visible content markings, so every document and email carries its own protection wherever it travels.

Data Loss Prevention

Policies across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams that stop sensitive information from leaving your organization by accident — credit card numbers, government IDs, and personal health information caught before they are shared.

Auto-Labeling for Canadian Data

Automatic classification tuned to Canadian regulatory patterns — SIN, health service numbers, and financial identifiers — so protection is applied by the platform rather than left to each employee to remember.

Labeling Your Existing Content

A one-time sweep of the files already sitting in OneDrive and SharePoint, labeled in controlled batches with a before-and-after coverage report — so your back catalogue is protected, not just new documents.

Pilot Before Enforcement

Every policy runs in simulation first. We review false positives with your team and tune the rules on a pilot group before anything is switched on organization-wide, so day-one enforcement does not disrupt real work.

Documentation & Training

A configuration runbook recording every label, policy, and exclusion we put in place, plus a live admin training session and a quick-reference guide so your team can own it going forward.

How We Deploy It

A six-phase rollout that protects your data without disrupting the way your people work.

1. Discover

We connect to your tenant and establish where sensitive data lives, which regulations apply to you, and what protection is already in place.

2. Design

We build the label framework and the DLP and auto-labeling policies around your data and your obligations under PIPEDA and PHIPA — using proven, built-in classifiers rather than fragile custom rules.

3. Pilot

Policies are deployed in simulation to a representative group, so we can see how they behave against real content before any enforcement is turned on.

4. Tune

We review what the pilot surfaced, resolve false positives, and refine the rules until the protection is accurate enough to trust across the whole tenant.

5. Apply

Labels are rolled out to existing content in controlled batches, and policies move from simulation to full enforcement across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

6. Hand Over

We deliver the configuration runbook, train your administrators, and leave you with a documented, maintainable data-security foundation.

Extend It Further

Optional add-ons that build on the foundation when your data or your obligations call for more.

  • Custom Sensitive Information Types

    Detection patterns built for data unique to your organization, beyond the built-in classifiers.

  • Endpoint Data Loss Prevention

    Extend protection to laptops and desktops — controlling copy, print, and upload of sensitive files.

  • Exact Data Match

    High-precision detection of your specific records, such as client or patient databases.

  • Trainable Classifiers

    Machine-learning classifiers taught from your own examples to recognize categories no pattern can.

  • Additional Auto-Labeling Policies

    Further policies beyond the standard scope as your protection needs grow.

Protect your sensitive data before it becomes a liability.

Whether you are preparing for Copilot or meeting your obligations under PIPEDA and PHIPA, we will scope a Purview deployment to your tenant.
