A brokerage firm must monitor Microsoft Teams chats and Exchange email for offensive language, sensitive data sharing, and potential regulatory violations, and route flagged messages to a compliance reviewer for investigation and remediation. Which Microsoft Purview solution BEST meets this requirement?
Communication Compliance scans internal and external communications for policy violations such as offensive language, harassment, and regulatory conflicts, and routes matches to trained reviewers for investigation and action.
An investment bank's M&A advisory team must be prevented from chatting, calling, or sharing files with the equity trading team in Microsoft Teams to avoid conflicts of interest, while both teams can still freely collaborate with everyone else in the company. Which Microsoft Purview capability enforces this?
Information Barriers define segments of users and policies that explicitly block or allow communication and collaboration between specific groups in Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive — exactly the conflict-of-interest scenario described.
A company is facing litigation and legal counsel needs to add custodians to a case, place holds on their mailboxes and OneDrive content, then use built-in machine learning to identify near-duplicate documents, email threading, and themes across a large review set before producing evidence. Which capability provides this?
eDiscovery (Premium) extends eDiscovery Standard with end-to-end workflow features including custodian management, review sets, and machine-learning-driven analytics such as near-duplicate detection, email threading, and themes.
A legal department wants a retention label applied to all signed contracts, but the 7-year retention period should not begin counting down until the contract's expiration date is recorded in the system — not when the label is first applied to the document. Which Microsoft Purview records management feature satisfies this requirement?
Event-based retention starts the retention period clock when a defined event occurs (such as contract expiration or an employee's last day), rather than when the label is applied to the content — exactly what's needed here.
In Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager, an organization implements an improvement action that is classified as 'discretionary' rather than 'mandatory.' What does this classification mean for the organization's compliance score?
Discretionary improvement actions are recommended but optional controls — organizations can choose to implement them, and doing so adds points to the overall compliance score, unlike mandatory controls required for certification.
An organization integrates its HR system with Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management so that when an employee submits a resignation, any large file downloads or unusual data transfers by that user in the following weeks are automatically correlated and escalated into a single elevated-risk alert. Which Insider Risk Management capability is responsible for this correlation?
Sequence detection in Insider Risk Management identifies patterns of related risky activities occurring over time (such as HR-triggered resignation events followed by data exfiltration behaviors) and correlates them into a single, higher-severity alert.
