Data security governance compliance and privacy via Purview

4ward helps organizations safeguard sensitive information, maintain compliance, and gain full visibility over their data estate through the powerful capabilities of Microsoft Purview. As businesses move to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, protecting data wherever it resides is critical for security, regulatory compliance, and business continuity. We design and deliver end-to-end implementation projects that enable you to classify, protect, and govern data across on-premises systems, Microsoft 365, Azure, and third-party platforms.

Core Capabilities Unified Data Governance We deploy Purview Data Map and Data Catalog to give you a holistic view of your entire data landscape. By automatically scanning and classifying structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data, we enable easy discovery, accurate classification, and clear data lineage to drive informed decision-making.

Data Security & Protection We implement Purview Information Protection to identify sensitive information—such as personal data, financial records, and intellectual property—and apply labels, encryption, and access policies to protect it wherever it travels. Integrated with Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, and multi-cloud resources, this ensures consistent protection across your entire ecosystem.

Compliance Management Our projects leverage Purview Compliance Manager to help you meet industry and regional regulations like GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more. We configure automated assessments, risk-based scoring, and actionable recommendations, enabling you to continuously monitor and improve your compliance posture.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) We design and implement Purview DLP policies to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive data in email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and endpoints. With adaptive protection and machine learning, we minimize the risk of data leaks while maintaining productivity.

Insider Risk Management & eDiscovery Using Purview Insider Risk Management, we help detect risky user behavior, such as data exfiltration or policy violations, with privacy-respecting analytics. Our eDiscovery solutions simplify legal holds, investigations, and regulatory requests by providing advanced search, case management, and AI-driven content review.

Records Management & Lifecycle Controls We configure records retention policies and automated lifecycle management to ensure data is stored, archived, or deleted according to legal, regulatory, and organizational requirements, reducing unnecessary risk and storage costs.
