Purview Accelerator
Secure by default — protect your most sensitive data.
A comprehensive Microsoft Purview implementation that protects your organization's most sensitive data through intelligent classification, encryption and data loss prevention — empowering secure collaboration across your entire digital ecosystem.
A secure-by-default foundation for your data — and your AI
Microsoft Purview gives your organization a unified, intelligent data security and compliance platform — so teams collaborate freely while sensitive information stays protected. By combining data classification, sensitivity labeling, DLP and advanced auditing, Purview ensures the right people have access to the right data across Microsoft 365, multi-cloud and on-premises. This governance foundation minimizes risk and prevents inadvertent exposure — and it's what makes AI safe to adopt, since Copilots and models operate only on data each user is authorized to access.
Minimize risk
Prevent inadvertent data exposure with protection built into every touchpoint.
Collaborate freely
Security that follows the content — across SharePoint, Teams, Exchange and OneDrive.
Unlock AI safely
Copilots only ever see data the user is authorized to access.
Security built into every collaboration touchpoint
CollabPoint's Secure By Default implementation makes protection automatic — from document creation to sharing and storage.
Intelligent classification
Automated identification of sensitive data across your entire environment.
