Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager

Question

Does Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager have the capability to assess on-premises data governance and compliance, or is its functionality primarily focused on cloud-based environments only?

Answer 1

@Dhruti Mehta - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is primarily focused on cloud-based environments, but it can also assess on-premises data governance and compliance. It supports automated scanning of on-premises, multicloud, and software as a service (SaaS) data sources. Running a scan invokes the process to ingest metadata from the registered data sources. The metadata curated at the end of the scan and curation process includes technical metadata. This metadata can include data asset names such as table names or file names, file size, columns, and data lineage. Schema details are also captured for structured data sources.
