Analyzing reports and dashboards

Microsoft provides administrators with a great deal of information relating to data lifecycle management, which can be accessed from the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. Regularly reviewing this information enables you to stay one step ahead in ensuring that your organization meets its compliance and regulatory obligations. It also allows you to make logical adjustments to the existing compliance settings that you have already configured. The Microsoft Purview Data classification page provides you with visibility on the following details:

  • Items classified as a sensitive information type (SIT) and what those classifications are
  • The most frequently applied sensitivity labels
  • The most frequently applied retention labels
  • A summary of activities that users are carrying out on your sensitive content
  • The locations of your sensitive and retained data
