Deploy and run Microsoft Purview across data, identity and AI
Microsoft Purview is the unified data security, compliance and governance platform that sits across Microsoft 365, Azure and your wider data estate. We deploy it, tune it, and run it for Indian enterprises — including the brand-new DSPM for AI capability that gives you visibility into how Copilot and third-party AI tools handle sensitive data.
Microsoft Purview is two products under one brand
Most buyers know Purview as the M365 compliance suite — DLP, sensitivity labels, eDiscovery. But Purview also includes the data governance half (formerly Azure Purview / Unified Catalog) for cataloguing data across SQL, Snowflake, Databricks, data lakes and Power BI. Knowing which half you actually need keeps the licensing bill honest.
Half 1 · Data security & compliance
Purview Compliance — the M365 suite
Sits inside Microsoft 365. Protects Office documents, mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams chats with classification, DLP, retention, and risk monitoring. This is what most Indian buyers mean when they say "Purview".
Modules included
- Sensitivity Labels — manual + auto-classification, encryption
- Data Loss Prevention — Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, endpoint
- Insider Risk Management — disgruntled-employee + IP exfiltration signals
- eDiscovery Standard / Premium — legal hold, custodian comms, review
- Audit Standard (180-day) / Premium (1-year + high-value events)
- Compliance Manager — ISO 27001, DPDPA, NIST, RBI templates
- Records Management — file plan + disposition review
- Communication Compliance — Teams + email policy violations
Licensed via: M365 E3 (basic) · M365 E5 (advanced) · E5 Compliance add-on · Business Premium Purview add-on (NEW)
Half 2 · Data governance
Purview Data Governance — Unified Catalog
Sits outside Microsoft 365. Scans SQL Server, Azure SQL, Snowflake, Databricks, Synapse, S3, ADLS, Power BI, Fabric and on-prem data sources. Builds a data map with lineage, glossary, classification, and quality scoring. Replaces the legacy "Azure Purview" branding.
Capabilities
- Unified Catalog — searchable inventory across the whole data estate
- Data Map & Lineage — column-level lineage from source to BI
- Business Glossary — link technical schema to business terms
- Auto-classification — sensitive data discovery across non-M365
- Data Quality — rules, scoring, exception alerting
- Data Health Controls — actionable posture across the catalog
- Advanced resource sets — efficient scanning of partitioned data
Licensed via: Pay-as-you-go (Azure metering) — independent of M365 plan. Some features need M365 E5 for the full experience.

How you license Microsoft Purview in India
Five ways to buy Purview. Most Indian enterprises take Path 2 or 3; SMBs increasingly take Path 4 — the Business Premium Purview add-on — to get advanced DLP, Insider Risk and DSPM for AI without jumping to E5. We size the cleanest path against your current M365 plan and quote it in INR.

Mapping Purview to Indian regulators
Purview ships with assessment templates for the regulators Indian buyers actually live under. Here is how each maps to the modules above — and where Purview alone will not get you to the finish line.
DPDPA 2023
Digital Personal Data Protection Act
DPDP Rule 6 lists seven security safeguards (encryption, access control, logging, continuity, retention, processor contracts, technical & organisational measures). Purview Audit + DLP + Sensitivity Labels + Insider Risk cover six of seven; the seventh (processor contracts) is a contractual control we surface in Compliance Manager evidence.
→ Compliance Manager DPDPA template + Audit Premium + Sensitivity Labels
CERT-In Directions
180-day log retention + 6-hour incident reporting
CERT-In requires 180-day retention of logs and 6-hour breach reporting. Purview Audit Standard hits the 180-day bar out-of-the-box; Audit Premium extends to 1 year. Defender XDR + Sentinel handle the 6-hour reporting flow.
→ Audit Standard / Premium + Sentinel integration
RBI CSF
Reserve Bank of India Cyber Security Framework
RBI CSF Annexures 1 + 2 mandate baseline controls for banks and NBFCs. Compliance Manager includes a pre-built RBI CSF assessment template. Records Management satisfies retention; Insider Risk addresses internal threats; Communication Compliance covers market abuse for treasury teams.
→ Compliance Manager RBI CSF + Records Mgmt + Insider Risk
SEBI CSCRF
Cyber Security & Cyber Resilience Framework
SEBI CSCRF (effective 2026) requires SEBI-regulated entities to implement defined cyber-security controls. Purview's Compliance Manager has a SEBI CSCRF assessment; Audit Premium covers the audit-trail requirement for 8-year financial records.
→ Compliance Manager SEBI CSCRF + Audit Premium + Records Mgmt
ISO 27001:2022
ISMS — international baseline
Purview deployed correctly addresses ~56 of 93 Annex A controls — primarily A.5 Organisational, A.8 Technological, parts of A.6 People. Compliance Manager walks the ISO 27001:2022 template end-to-end; we export the evidence pack for your Stage 1 auditor pre-read.
→ Compliance Manager ISO 27001 + Sensitivity Labels + DLP
NIST CSF 2.0
Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover
For Indian subsidiaries of US or global parents: Compliance Manager has a NIST CSF 2.0 assessment template. Identify and Protect map cleanly to Purview; Detect / Respond / Recover require Defender XDR + Sentinel for completeness.
→ Compliance Manager NIST CSF + DLP + Insider Risk
How Ogma rolls out Microsoft Purview
Five-stage delivery from licensing decision to managed operations. Most engagements hit "running & tuned" within 8–12 weeks for a 500-seat tenant; large estates with non-M365 data sources extend depending on Unified Catalog scope.
Discovery & sizing
Workshops with IT, Legal, Compliance and Risk to define scope: which regulators apply, which data sources are in-scope, where the existing classification (if any) lives. Output: licensing recommendation (E3 + add-on vs E5 vs Business Premium add-on) with INR pricing and a control-to-module map.
Design
Sensitivity label taxonomy (Public / Internal / Confidential / Highly Confidential), DLP policy matrix, Insider Risk indicator selection, Audit retention plan, Compliance Manager assessment scoping. Reviewed and signed off before deployment touches the tenant. (Side note for IT teams running parallel projects: if you need your <a href="/tools/tenant-id-finder" style="color:var(--pv-indigo-soft);">Microsoft 365 / Entra tenant ID</a> for vendor integrations during the same window, our free domain-based lookup returns it without any portal login.)
Pilot rollout
Labels deployed to a pilot group (typically Legal + Finance + a business unit). DLP policies run in audit-only mode. Insider Risk Adaptive Protection learns baseline behaviour for 14–30 days. Tuned weekly to cut false-positive noise before broader rollout.
Tenant-wide rollout
Mandatory labelling enforced. DLP moves to enforce mode with user override + business justification. Auto-labelling rules turned on for the highest-risk data types (Aadhaar, PAN, credit card, source code). Compliance Manager evidence collection automated.
Managed operations
24×7 monitoring of Insider Risk alerts, DLP incident triage, eDiscovery support, quarterly Compliance Manager re-assessment, and integration with your existing SOC (Defender XDR + Sentinel + Fortinet, if relevant). Monthly business review with the Risk + IT + Compliance owners.
Why Indian buyers choose Ogma for Purview
Purview is one of the easiest Microsoft products to mis-deploy — most failed rollouts come from over-classifying day one, mis-tuned DLP that swamps users with prompts, or Compliance Manager that nobody updates after Stage 1 audit. Our delivery is shaped to avoid each of those.
Microsoft Solutions Partner
Authorised Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work + Security. Direct Microsoft escalation paths, pre-release feature access, and the same engineering team for both licensing and deployment — no handoffs.
INR billing, GST invoiced
Licence procurement through our CSP — INR-denominated quotes, GST-compliant invoices, full input tax credit eligibility. No FX exposure on monthly billing. Consolidated invoice covers M365 + Purview add-ons + Azure metering.
Tuned, not just turned on
Most failed Purview deployments are mis-tuned, not unconfigured. Our pilot phase runs DLP in audit-only mode for 30 days before flipping to enforce. Insider Risk Adaptive Protection learns your baseline, not Microsoft's default. Result: false-positive rates well under 5%.
Cross-vendor SOC integration
Purview alerts feed into the same SIEM you use for Fortinet, Defender XDR, and Sentinel. We build the Sentinel data-connector pipeline, write the playbooks, and run the SOC — so a DLP incident, an EDR alert, and a firewall block all surface as one investigation.
