Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Import Non-M365 data into review set for modern eDiscovery

🚨 The Signal: Purview eDiscovery now imports non-Microsoft 365 data directly into review sets. This centralises diverse data sources for legal review, improving data consolidation and potentially reducing data sprawl across disparate systems.

The Impact

Legal and compliance teams are affected, with a reduced risk of fragmented data during eDiscovery processes.

• Legal teams: Streamlined data review, reducing manual effort.
• Compliance teams: Improved data consolidation for regulatory responses.
• Security teams: Centralised data reduces risk of unmanaged data copies.
• IT admins: Simplified data ingestion for eDiscovery requests.

The Action

1. Review Purview eDiscovery documentation for non-M365 data import procedures.
2. Identify external data sources relevant for eDiscovery and plan ingestion.
3. Configure data connectors or manual upload processes within Purview.
4. Establish internal policies for consolidating non-M365 data into Purview eDiscovery.
