Episode 50 — Microsoft Purview and Azure Policy in Action

Microsoft Purview and Azure Policy work hand in hand to strengthen governance and compliance across cloud environments. This episode introduces Microsoft Purview as a unified data governance solution that helps organizations discover, classify, and protect sensitive information. Azure Policy, by contrast, enforces operational rules—such as requiring encryption, limiting regions, or ensuring resource tags are applied. Together, these tools enable continuous compliance, automating the enforcement and monitoring of regulatory standards. AZ-900 learners encounter these topics within the management and governance domain, where understanding compliance at scale is essential.The episode expands into real-world applications. Learners see how Purview scans data across Azure and hybrid environments, mapping where sensitive data resides, while Azure Policy automatically prevents configurations that violate company rules. This pairing allows enterprises to demonstrate accountability and audit readiness without manual intervention. Listeners gain insight into how these governance capabilities align with frameworks like ISO and GDPR. By mastering the interaction between Purview and Policy, candidates develop a practical view of how Azure integrates technology and compliance into a single, manageable system.
