Learn about Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Purview is a comprehensive set of solutions that can help your organization govern, protect, and manage data, wherever it lives. Microsoft Purview solutions provide integrated coverage and help address the fragmentation of data across organizations, the lack of visibility that hampers data protection and governance, and the blurring of traditional IT management roles.
Microsoft Purview combines solutions and services together into a unified platform to help your organization:
- Gain visibility into data across your organization
- Safeguard and manage sensitive data across its lifecycle, wherever it lives
- Govern data seamlessly in new, comprehensive ways

Data security, governance, and compliance together
Microsoft Purview provides organizations with a powerful platform for governing and securing data across your entire data estate.
Data governance
Microsoft Purview includes unified data governance solutions that help you manage data services across your on-premises, multicloud, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) estate. That includes Azure storage services, Power BI, and many more. The solutions include:
- Microsoft Purview Data Map: register and scan your data sources to map your data estate and identify sensitive data.
- Microsoft Purview Unified Catalog: curate your data sources, manage your data's integrity, govern your data estate, secure your sensitive data, and drive business value from your existing data sources.
Note
The Microsoft Purview Data Catalog is changing its name to Microsoft Purview Unified Catalog. All the features will stay the same. You'll see the name change when the new Microsoft Purview Data Governance experience is generally available in your region.
Together, these tools empower your organization to:
- Create an up-to-date map of your entire data estate that includes data classification and end-to-end lineage
- Identify where sensitive data is stored in your estate
- Create a secure environment for data consumers to find valuable data
- Generate insights about how your data is stored and used
- Manage access to the data in your estate securely and at scale
