What is Microsoft Purview?
Microsoft Purview is Microsoft's unified data security, governance, and compliance suite for data held in Microsoft 365, Azure, and other clouds such as AWS and Google Cloud. Its Data Map and Unified Catalog scan and catalog data assets, track lineage, and support governance domains, while its compliance tools cover sensitivity labeling, data loss prevention, insider risk management, eDiscovery, and audit logging for regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
Purview is licensed in two main ways: as part of Microsoft 365 subscriptions such as E5, or as a standalone Purview Suite add-on for E3 customers, alongside pay-as-you-go consumption pricing for non-Microsoft 365 sources billed through Azure. Microsoft 365 E5 costs $60 per user per month billed yearly, and the Purview Suite add-on costs $12 per user per month; a free trial is available.
