Summary

This chapter covered the principles of planning for auditing and reporting in Microsoft 365 using the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. We learned about the available reports, tools, and dashboards, as well as how to investigate compliance activities by running audit log searches. We also learned how to configure alert policies that can be set up to email chosen users when an activity matching the policy is triggered, and how audit retention policies enable you to retain audit log activity based on users and/or specified record types within Microsoft Purview.

The next chapter will introduce content search and eDiscovery in Microsoft Purview.
