Enhancing Microsoft Purview with Spirion for Complete Data Protection

Spirion complements and enhances Microsoft Purview as described in the details of this article.

Microsoft Purview delivers strong data protection, but many teams face challenges like high false positives, limited on-premises visibility, and gaps in data classification. These challenges can hinder efficient, accurate data security, especially in hybrid cloud environments.

Spirion Sensitive Data Platform fills these gaps by integrating advanced data discovery, flexible classification, and precise labeling to reduce false positives.

Spirion complements Microsoft Purview to unlock the full potential of your data security investment, enhancing discovery, classification, and on-premises coverage across hybrid environments to streamline compliance and reduce risks.

Microsoft Purview

How Spirion Complements

False Positive Reduction

High false positives from traditional tools causing inefficiency and confusion.

Spirion’s precise discovery reduces false positives, ensuring that Purview labels are applied accurately, improving the effectiveness of protection policies.

Data Discovery

Gaps in on-premises scanning and advanced data discovery.

Spirion fills these gaps by providing detailed discovery controls and extending protection beyond Microsoft environments, addressing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) shortcomings.

Classification Detail

Limited advanced data classification.

Spirion offers a more flexible multi-label classification system, providing granular control and deeper insights, which Purview lacks in complex environments.

On-Premises Scanning

Lack of on-premises data protection.

Spirion provides on-premises scanning, offering complete visibility of sensitive data stored on local file servers, databases and endpoints in addition to cloud-hosted targets.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Gaps in data loss prevention capabilities, especially in hybrid environments.

Spirion extends protection beyond Microsoft environments and enhances DLP by providing more options for remediation, improving overall data security.

Integration with Microsoft Ecosystem

Inconsistency in data protection due to lack of integration between tools.

Spirion integrates with Microsoft’s Compliance Center to enforce unified labeling policies across platforms, ensuring consistent protection.

Customizability

Need for advanced customization beyond Purview’s out-of-the-box capabilities.

Spirion offers advanced extensibility, discovery, and reporting, addressing complex data environments that require more than out-of-the-box solutions.

Cloud Environment Support

Difficulty protecting data across multiple cloud environments (e.g., SharePoint, Google Drive, Box).

Implementing Spirion and Purview together provides a seamless solution for cloud data protection, covering Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and other environments.

Granular Reporting

Limited functionality and detailed reporting capabilities from existing Microsoft tools.

Spirion enhances Purview by adding advanced discovery, reporting, and on-premises scanning, ensuring organizations maximize their Microsoft investment.

Remediation Capabilities

Managing data retention and destruction policies across systems is cumbersome.

Spirion’s Playbook system automates labeling decisions and simplifies compliance with retention and destruction policies.

Flexible Classification

Incomplete or inconsistent data labeling weakens protection efforts.

Spirion’s dynamic classification complements Purview’s labels, ensuring complete and context-rich labeling across all data environments.

Comprehensive Capabilities

Paying for MS Purview but not fully utilizing its capabilities.

Spirion maximizes the value of your Microsoft products by enhancing Purview with advanced discovery, on-premises scanning, automated remediation, and robust reporting options.

Seamless Integration

Disjointed systems create inconsistency in labeling and compliance.

Spirion integrates with Microsoft’s Compliance Center to enforce unified labeling policies across platforms ensuring seamless protection.

Holistic Data Security Posture Management

Organizations need more than out-of-the-box solutions for complex data environments.

Spirion offers cloud-agnostic visibility with customizable, discovery, classification, remediation, and reporting that readily interoperates with DSPM software and platforms beyond Microsoft Purview.
