What Purview does day to day

Three situations typical of our SME and municipality customers.

IBAN or AHV leak blocked

An employee is about to send a file with IBANs to external recipients. Purview detects, blocks or warns per your policy.

  • Automatic detection of Swiss PII
  • DLP policies by channel (mail, Teams, OneDrive)
  • User notification + admin log

Demonstrable FADP/GDPR compliance

During an audit or access request, you prove in clicks where a customer's data sits, who accessed it and for how long.

  • Sensitivity labels "Customer confidential"
  • 12-month unified audit
  • DPO report export-ready

Automated legal retention

Accounting documents are kept 10 years automatically, drafts erased at 90 days — no more forgetting.

  • Retention policies per document type
  • Auto-deletion past delay
  • Read-only archive
