Microsoft Purview: Retirement of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) classic and DSPM for AI classic experiences

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Purview is retiring its classic Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and DSPM for AI experiences by December 2026. Organisations must transition to the unified, current DSPM experience to continue monitoring and managing data security risks across traditional and AI data sources.

The Impact

Microsoft Purview administrators and security teams are affected, requiring a transition to the new DSPM experience to maintain data security posture visibility and management.

• Purview administrators: Must adapt to a new interface for data security posture.
• Security administrators: Risk losing visibility if not transitioned to the new DSPM.
• Compliance administrators: Need to re-establish reporting from the new DSPM.
• Organisations: Risk unmanaged data security posture if migration is not completed.

The Action

1. Review current usage of DSPM classic and DSPM for AI classic in the Microsoft Purview portal.
2. Familiarise with the current Microsoft Purview DSPM experience and its unified capabilities.
3. Plan and execute the transition of all data security posture management workflows to the new DSPM experience.
4. Update internal documentation and standard operating procedures to reflect the new DSPM interface and features.
