EPAM Microsoft Purview Data Security Deployment

EPAM’s Microsoft Purview Deployment implementation helps organizations establish enterprise-grade Data Security and Compliance Governance across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and cloud workloads. This engagement is designed for CISOs, security leaders, compliance officers, and data governance teams who need to protect sensitive information, enforce regulatory requirements, and gain visibility into data usage across the enterprise.

Many organizations struggle with fragmented security tools, inconsistent data classification, and limited visibility into sensitive data across collaboration platforms, endpoints, and cloud services. By implementing Microsoft Purview, organizations can unify data protection, automate governance policies, and enable secure collaboration while reducing compliance risks and operational complexity.

EPAM delivers a structured implementation approach that covers architecture design, pilot validation, and enterprise rollout of Purview capabilities. The engagement enables organizations to establish consistent classification, labeling, data loss prevention (DLP), insider risk management, and data lifecycle governance while integrating protection policies across Microsoft 365 services and enterprise applications.

What You Will Receive

• Microsoft Purview Architecture & Platform Setup: Deployment and configuration of Microsoft Purview services including Information Protection, DLP, Insider Risk Management, and Data Lifecycle Management aligned with enterprise security and compliance requirements.
• Data Classification and Sensitivity Labeling Framework: Definition and implementation of sensitivity labels, classification policies, and automated labeling rules to identify and protect sensitive information across files, emails, endpoints, and cloud services.
• Enterprise Data Protection Policies: Implementation of DLP policies and governance controls across Microsoft 365 workloads such as Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, and endpoint devices to prevent unauthorized data sharing and exfiltration.
• Legacy Tool Migration: Migration from existing classification, governance, or DLP tools to Microsoft Purview, ensuring continuity of data protection policies and minimizing operational disruption.
• Security Integration and Policy Automation: Integration of Purview with enterprise identity, collaboration, and cloud platforms to enable centralized governance and automated policy enforcement.
• Operational Documentation and Governance Framework: Delivery of security architecture documentation, policy definitions, governance models, and operational runbooks required for long-term Purview operations.

Typical Implementation Agenda

Phase 1 — Envisioning & Assessment

• Assess the current data protection posture, regulatory requirements, and security risks.
• Identify sensitive data types, business priorities, and compliance obligations.
• Define the target-state architecture and governance model using Microsoft Purview.
• Deliver an assessment report and Purview implementation roadmap.

Phase 2 — Proof of Concept

• Configure a pilot Microsoft Purview environment.
• Onboard selected users, workloads, and data sources.
• Implement sensitivity labels, classification policies, and initial DLP controls.
• Validate the solution against business, compliance, and security requirements.

Phase 3 — Enterprise Deployment

• Deploy Microsoft Purview security and governance policies across the organization.
• Integrate Purview with Microsoft 365 services including Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, and endpoints.
• Configure insider risk analytics, audit capabilities, and compliance monitoring.
• Implement governance processes, operational dashboards, and automated policy enforcement.

Phase 4 — Adoption & Operationalization

• Deliver administrator training and governance enablement sessions.
• Provide operational runbooks, configuration documentation, and architecture diagrams.
• Support security teams during rollout with hypercare and adoption guidance.

Expected Outcomes

• Unified enterprise Data Security and protection policies across collaboration platforms, endpoints, and cloud services.
• Improved regulatory compliance and audit readiness through automated classification, labeling, and governance.
• Reduced risk of data breaches through consistent DLP enforcement and insider risk monitoring.
• A scalable Compliance Governance foundation powered by Microsoft Purview that supports secure digital transformation and future AI adoption.
