Episode notes
Begin With DSPM Monitoring
- Start with Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to scan your estate, find overshared data, and get prioritized recommendations.
- Use DSPM monitoring first to discover risks before applying restrictive controls.
Scan SharePoint And OneDrive First
- Inspect OneDrive and SharePoint documents first since Purview scans them by default and shows sensitive data counts.
- You will see initial sensitive-data findings immediately when you first log into Purview.
Provision Default Sensitivity Labels
- Use Microsoft’s built-in sensitivity label taxonomy to get started and avoid overdesigning labels.
- Provision the default schema, apply practical labels like Public/Confidential, then iterate.
