🚨 The Signal: Purview eDiscovery exports now include new metadata like encryption status and sensitivity labels. This provides security teams with enhanced visibility into data handling during legal discovery processes, improving data governance and risk assessment.

The Impact

Security and compliance teams gain better insight into sensitive data during eDiscovery, reducing data exposure risk.

  • Security Teams: Enhanced visibility into encrypted and labeled data reduces risk of sensitive information exposure.
