Consider employee privacy and data requirements
As all organizations are subject to regulatory compliance, knowing the legal boundaries concerning digital assets, data, private communications, and health and safety regulations is essential. Analyze the rules that your organization follows to prevent a data breach, assure employee safety, and protect sensitive information. Ideally, your Microsoft 365 is already in tune with the policies on all levels: local, state, regional, national, and within the industry.
To easily access the data and tools you need to manage your organization's compliance posture, you can begin taking advantage of the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. By following the link, you can quickly learn about its functions, how to access it, and how to begin using it. The first time you visit the portal, you'll be shown how well your organization is doing with data compliance, an overview of any active alerts, and solutions that are available for your organization.
Microsoft Viva benefits from the advanced security and compliance capabilities that are built into Microsoft 365 and Office 365 as well as specific settings and policies of the apps each module interacts with. For example, Viva Connections uses not only Microsoft 365 security and compliance features, but also the security settings in SharePoint, Teams, and other apps that are used with Viva Connections.
Consider security and compliance at your organization
Part of the groundwork for building your new employee experience includes finding out what communication compliance policies are already in place in your organization. Find the employees who have permission to perform compliance work and their requirements. Fortunately, security and compliance solutions are ingrained in Microsoft 365, which meets ever-changing cybersecurity threats with increasingly sophisticated and stalwart protection. Examine your policy settings and templates, which can be found in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
Information governance and user privacy
How is your organization managing information and content sharing? Locate your organization's requirements for governance so that you can easily share them with IT or whomever is going to set up Microsoft Viva. If you're already using the Microsoft 365 platform, your governance requirements are likely already in place, and this will simply be a matter alignment. To preserve the integrity of information policies enterprise-wide, this is an important step.
