Addressing Cloud Data Security and Compliance Challenges with Infotechtion

As organizations adopt cloud platforms and applications, they face significant challenges in Data Governance and Data Security. Managing sensitive information, meeting compliance requirements, and ensuring consistent data lifecycle governance are critical to business operations. These challenges include:

  • Visibility: Many businesses struggle to uncover “dark data” hidden across on-premises and cloud environments. This unclassified and unprotected data poses risks to confidentiality, privacy, and retention policies.
  • Consistency: Governance controls often vary across data sources, creating gaps in applying uniform classifications. Aligning these controls with privacy regulations, data security standards, and third-party solutions like Iron Mountain Policy Center, Virgo, and Filerskeepers becomes a complex task.
  • Accessibility: Limited insights into data usage, lineage, and disposition throughout its lifecycle hinder compliance and operational transparency. Without defensible evidence, organizations face difficulties during audits and risk management.
  • Efficiency: Relying on manual processes like custom dashboards, scripts, and reports drains technical resources, making data remediation and compliance activities time-intensive and costly.

Businesses recognize that effective data classification and policy enforcement are vital to reducing privacy risks, preventing data leaks, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Retaining critical records such as contracts, intellectual property, and employee files is a priority for compliance frameworks, and a scalable classification system is key to making data-centric security actionable.

With a strategic focus on Data Governance and Data Security, organizations can build robust solutions to manage sensitive information, align with compliance requirements, and ensure operational efficiency. These efforts not only safeguard sensitive data but also enable businesses to scale confidently in an increasingly regulated digital landscape.

Infotechtion Advanced Records Management when needed to enhance Microsoft Purview functionality

Persistent audit log details matching record life-span

180 days with E3 license; 1 year with E5 license but can be extended to 10 years with additional license.

Infotechtion extends the storage of Purview’s audit log for the life of the record. Additional and custom metadata is captured for dashboards, analytics, and as part of disposition evidence.

Defensible disposition

Details of disposed items kept for maximum of seven years with limit of 16 million items per retention label.

Infotechtion extends this limit and keeps any custom metadata associated with records for an indefinite / customer defined period using the expanded Purview audit log.

Provide dashboards, analytics, and reporting

Limited reports available as part of Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal.

Infotechtion provides extensive analytics and reporting capabilities through dashboards and reports that combine information from across the 365 tenant. Additional reports are easy to define using the extended audit log and Power BI reporting tools.

Manage record terms centrally with a file plan

Single, flat structure file plan supported (no hierarchical terms).

Infotechtion integrates with external retention providers (Virgo, IM Policy Center) to synchronize their retention schedules with Microsoft Purview. We believe that these tools are the best way to manage retention schedules in large organizations.

Disposition Management for Microsoft 365 records

Purview presents records to records managers one at a time for disposition decisions.Manual reviews are extremely cumbersome and not scalable.

Infotechtion aggregates records and presents them to users on predefined schedules for disposition decisions. This is supported via email and dashboards and can involve thousands of records to be disposed of or have their retention lives extended simultaneously.

Provisioning for new Microsoft Teams, SharePoint sites, or Azure file areas

No native support for custom templates with compliance-by-design built into provisioned sites.

Infotechtion provides a provisioning solution for Microsoft Teams, SharePoint sites, file servers, and Azure file areas with built-in compliance controls.

Move file servers to Azure files and manage as records with immutability using Purview.

Natively support all files and emails in Microsoft 365 as records. Limited support for Azure files.

Extends Purview to Azure files and blob storage to make Azure a records management system. This enables file servers to be migrated to Azure, classified in transit, and managed as records through their lifecycle while available to users through a traditional File Explorer interface. Often with a lower cost than file shares.

Event Management for the disposition of Microsoft 365 records

Purview has the core capabilities to manage events related to retention triggers, but this involves programming to implement.

Infotechtion aggregates records associated with trigger events and orchestrates their presentation to users to manage disposition. This can involve thousands of records to be disposed and is often managed with document sets.

Management of physical records

No native support for management of physical records.

Infotechtion provides a connector to Gimmal LLC for physical records management. Integration enables search of related records in physical repository and Microsoft 365. Previously scanned items are viewable from unified search.
