Learn more about Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance

Communication Compliance policies in Microsoft 365 help you overcome many modern challenges associated with compliance and internal and external communications, including:

-Scanning increasing types of communication channels
-The increasing volume of message data
-Regulatory enforcement and the risk of fines

Additionally, there may be a separation of duties between your IT admins and your compliance management team. Communication Compliance supports the separation between configuration of policies and the investigation and review of messages. For example, the IT group for your organization may be responsible for setting up communication compliance role permissions, groups, and policies and investigators and reviewers may be responsible for message triage, review, and mitigation actions.

Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
System administrator3.5I use Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance for data loss prevention and public record requests, appreciating its case-building and compliance features. It integrates well, saves time, but could improve with more tutorials and user-friendly interfaces.
Vice President of Technology at Park Avenue Finance4.5I use Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance to monitor sensitive data and communications, creating rules and integrating with Microsoft Intune and Sentinel. While robust for security, improvements are needed for web application compliance. Previously, I've used AWS and Google Cloud.
