Microsoft Purview Implementation

A Microsoft Purview implementation is the end-to-end design, configuration and rollout of Purview's data security and governance capabilities across your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment. I take it from current-state assessment through to a working, governed estate your team can run.

What I deliver

  • Current-state assessment and a licensing review (e.g. Microsoft 365 E5 / E5 Compliance)
  • High-level and low-level design (HLD/LLD)
  • A phased build across Information Protection, DLP, Insider Risk, Data Map and Unified Catalog
  • Microsoft Defender XDR and Sentinel integration and Entra ID Conditional Access
  • Documentation, runbooks, knowledge transfer and handover

Typical outcomes

  • A working, governed Purview estate aligned to your risk and compliance goals
  • Evidence of control for UK GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, NIST and DORA
  • An internal team confident to operate it

How I work

Assess → design (HLD/LLD) → build (phased) → validate → handover.

FAQs

How long does a Microsoft Purview implementation take?

It is phased and scope-dependent — typically weeks to a few months, starting with the highest-risk areas first.

What licensing do I need?

Most capabilities sit under Microsoft 365 E5 or the E5 Compliance add-on; I confirm exactly what's required at the assessment stage.

What does it cost?

Project engagements start from £25,000; contract only, outside IR35. See the services page.
