Use the Microsoft Graph compliance and privacy APIs

  • Article

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

The Microsoft Graph compliance and privacy APIs provide a unified interface and schema to integrate with solutions available in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal from Microsoft and ecosystem partners. This can help customers streamline their compliance and privacy operations to better manage and monitor their data, protect information, minimize insider risk, perform legal and internal investigations, and comply with legal or regulatory standards. For more information, see Microsoft Purview documentation.

Use the Microsoft Graph compliance and privacy APIs to build applications that:

  • Automate common tasks in eDiscovery
  • Create and manage subject rights requests
  • Automate tasks in records management

eDiscovery

eDiscovery in Microsoft 365 provides an end-to-end workflow to preserve, collect, review, analyze, and export data that's responsive to your organization's internal and external investigations. Learn more about Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Premium).

Records management (preview)

Records management in Microsoft Purview enables customers to manage regulatory, legal, and business-critical records across corporate data. It helps organizations manage retention and deletion of data to meet their legal and compliance regulations, and increases efficiency by enabling the regular disposal of items that no longer have to be retained.

For more information, see Microsoft Purview Records Management.

The records management API is defined in the OData subnamespace, microsoft.graph.security. Explore the Microsoft Purview Records Management APIs.

Subject rights request

Microsoft Priva Subject Rights Requests provides powerful capabilities to help you handle requests from people seeking to manage their personal data within your organization. These requests are sometimes also referred to as data subject requests (DSRs), data subject access requests (DSARs), or consumer rights requests. Microsoft Priva empowers personnel responsible for fulfilling subject rights requests to easily identify data subjects and find their personal information among your organization’s data in Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.
