Risk & Compliance
Maintaining compliance with Australian legislative frameworks such as the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), Information Security Manual (ISM), and the Australian Privacy Act is critical for government agencies and regulated industries. Microsoft Purview offers a suite of tools designed to help organisations manage risk, ensure compliance, and uphold data integrity across their operations.
Microsoft Purview Audit
Enables organisations to track and retain detailed logs of data access and modifications across Microsoft 365 services. This ensures accountability and supports compliance with Australian Government security requirements by providing visibility into user and administrator activities.
Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance
Monitors internal and external communications, including emails and Microsoft Teams chats, to detect and prevent policy violations such as the sharing of sensitive information or inappropriate content. This aligns with PSPF and ISM guidelines by helping organisations enforce communication policies and mitigate risks associated with data leaks or misconduct.

It provides actionable insights and recommendations tailored to Australian legislative frameworks, facilitating the management of compliance obligations and the implementation of necessary controls.
Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management
Applies retention, deletion, and archiving policies to data across various platforms, including Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive. This ensures adherence to government records management standards, such as the National Archives of Australia’s Digital Continuity 2020 policy, by systematically managing the information lifecycle from creation to disposal.
Microsoft Purview eDiscovery
Facilitates the efficient identification, preservation, and review of content across Microsoft 365 services in response to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, legal investigations, and regulatory inquiries.
