Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve spent the last few years working with Microsoft Purview and the wider M365 compliance stack, and I kept running into the same thing: the documentation answers the “what” but rarely the “why”, and even less often the “what should I actually do on a Monday morning”.

This blog is my attempt to fix that for myself, and hopefully for a few other people along the way. Expect short, practical posts on Purview, information protection, DLP, records, eDiscovery, and the day-to-day mechanics of running compliance in a real tenant.

Nothing here is affiliated with Microsoft or with any employer. It’s just what I’ve picked up, written down in plain English.

More soon.
