Strengthen Microsoft Purview data security skills by learning how to classify sensitive information, apply labels, tune DLP controls, investigate alerts, and align data protection with SOC workflows and Zero Trust practices.
Modern data security requires more than enabling tools; teams need to understand how sensitive information moves, how users interact with it, and where controls can prevent loss without disrupting business work. Microsoft Purview helps security teams connect classification, labeling, DLP, insider risk, and investigations into a practical protection model that supports secure collaboration and stronger response decisions. The learning path begins with Purview’s role in the Microsoft security stack, then moves into classification strategy, sensitivity labels, DLP policy behavior, insider risk signals, and SOC alert workflows. It also connects Intune, Conditional Access, and Zero Trust principles so learners can see how device trust, identity context, endpoint activity, and content signals shape practical data protection decisions. Practical scenarios show how to design controls, validate behavior, reduce false positives, document investigations, and plan safer rollouts. Learners strengthen their ability to explain Purview, investigate data-loss events, handle governance trade-offs, and support real security operations with clearer evidence and better judgment; by the end of this course, they can apply Purview controls with greater confidence. Best suited for security analysts, SOC analysts, incident responders, Microsoft 365 security engineers, IT professionals working with compliance and data protection, and cybersecurity learners preparing for SC-400. Learners should understand Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive, and have basic familiarity with cybersecurity or security operations. The course moves from security architecture foundations into classification, labeling, DLP, insider risk, and alert investigation. Concepts are taught through practical enterprise scenarios that show how controls behave in real environments. Learners progress from design decisions to validation, tuning, and SOC-style response workflows. This course is based on Microsoft Purview Data Security for SOC and Security Teams, by Yasir Mehmood.
