Building Your Data Protection Program with Purview, Defender, and Microsoft Copilot
David Drever
Microsoft 365 MVP - Compliance, Data Protection, and M365 Specialist
In recent years, the amount of digital content moving to the cloud has been dramatic. This has undoubtedly made collaboration easier and more versatile, but it's also brought with it a new set of problems, such as oversharing, data exfiltration, and non-compliant destruction of data. Organizations like yours must ensure data is available when required and protected when sensitive.
Microsoft 365 provides a multitude of tools and features that can assist any organization in protecting its data. Any one of these features can help a business protect its data, but it's the deployment of multiple tools and features that will help organizations build a true data protection program.
In this workshop, your data protection expert will take you through the many features of Microsoft 365 that can assist your organization in protecting its information. Attendees will learn about features such as Microsoft Purview Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, Endpoint Protection, Insider Risk, and much more. They will also learn how Microsoft Copilot for Security can bolster your data protection program and support your cybersecurity team in protecting your organization.

Building the Foundation of Your Data Protection Program with Microsoft Information Protection
David Drever
Microsoft 365 MVP - Compliance, Data Protection, and M365 Specialist
All organizations store sensitive information. This information can be sensitive to the organization itself, to you as an employee, to you as a customer, or in any number of other ways. All businesses have a responsibility to keep that information safe. Organizations are learning that data protection is not fully realized with a single feature but with the collaboration of multiple solutions to create a fully realized data protection program.
Join David Drever as he illustrates how Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) provides the foundation necessary to build out a robust and versatile data protection program. He'll cover the many features of MIP, how it can protect the organization’s sensitive information, leading practices in implementing the technologies and processes, and how MPIP is the foundation for many other features within Microsoft 365 that work together to protect your information.

Purview for Information Architects
Marc D Anderson
President | Sympraxis Consulting
As an information architect, you may have been ceding understanding of Purview to others in your organization – or ignoring it entirely, especially in smaller organizations.
The first thing many organizations want to do is apply some level of retention (Policies or Labels) to their content. If you don’t plan well for this, you may end up locking down content you don’t intend to lock down, and reversing your decisions can be difficult. This can lead to rapid storage consumption within your tenant, among other issues.
In the end, what you can do well in Purview is dependent on a strong information architecture. Knowing what content is stored where – and being able to identify it in Purview – is the big key to success. Purview depends in part on search, and search works well with a strong information architecture.
If you’re embarking on this journey, perhaps due to wanting to roll out Copilot in your organization, this session will give you some Purview basics, considerations to apply to your information architecture, and some of the pitfalls we’ve seen in the field.

Implementing Microsoft 365 Data Loss Prevention: A Real World Approach
David Drever
Microsoft 365 MVP - Compliance, Data Protection, and M365 Specialist
As more and more organizations' content is stored in cloud locations, it can become further at risk for accidental or malicious misuse. Users make good use of cloud collaboration features to share documents with others. Information contained within documents or even the intended recipient of the files may not be properly considered before transmission. This can often lead to data loss and poses significant risks to the organization. To protect against the loss of data control, organizations are looking for solutions that protect the data when it is shared.
Join David as he takes a practical approach to understand data loss prevention techniques and capabilities available within Microsoft 365. David will also provide a real-world approach to implementing the technologies with a strong consideration of the balance of protection and user experience.
