What benefits does Microsoft Priva Privacy Risk Management give me?
Microsoft Priva Privacy Risk Management can increase security in your organisation by providing visibility into the personal data in your Microsoft 365 environment.
It uses standard privacy policy templates, including data minimisation, data overexposure, and data transfer, or customises them to meet your unique business needs. In addition, you receive recommended remediation actions for proactive privacy risk mitigation.
Benefits of using Microsoft Priva Privacy Risk Management:
- Identifying critical privacy risks:
Microsoft Priva helps identify personal data and the associated privacy risks arising from overexposure, accumulation, and transfers with automated data discovery and correlated risk signals.
- Automate risk mitigation:
Effectively mitigate privacy risks and prevent privacy incidents with automated policies and recommended user actions.
- Empowering employee decision-making:
Promotes a proactive privacy culture by increasing awareness of and accountability for privacy incidents and risks without hindering employee productivity.
- Actionable privacy insights:
Assess your organisation's privacy posture - how much personal data exists in the environment, where it is located, how it moves, and the privacy risks detected.
Examples of use cases
Consultancy - A consultancy can use Microsoft Priva to monitor the sharing of sensitive client data between different teams or departments. Using the data overexposure policy, the organisation can identify when client data has been shared widely and take appropriate actions to secure the data.
Retail business - A retail business may use Microsoft Priva to handle large amounts of customer data. With the data minimisation policy, the business can identify older customer data that is no longer needed and delete it to minimise the risk of a data breach.
This reduced the risk of data leakage and strengthened the company's compliance with data protection legislation
