Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance

Archie's take

Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance is a strong fit for organizations already invested in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem that need to monitor, detect, and remediate risky or non-compliant communications across email, Teams, and other Microsoft channels. Its standout advantage is deep native integration with Microsoft 365, offering automated policy enforcement, machine learning-based detection, and robust reporting—making it especially valuable for regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and legal. However, it’s less compelling for companies using a mix of non-Microsoft communication tools, and setup can be complex, requiring careful policy tuning and ongoing management to avoid false positives. Pricing is enterprise-oriented, so smaller businesses may find it overkill unless they have strict compliance mandates.
