Data Security Engagement Framework Overview

This document is a guide that outlines the Data Security Engagement framework, which aims to identify, assess, and mitigate data security risks within an organization. It begins by emphasizing the importance of understanding the risks posed by internal actors and the need for a tailored strategy that aligns with specific data protection and regulatory requirements. The engagement utilizes Microsoft Purview tools to automatically scan the Microsoft 365 environment, including email and collaboration platforms, to uncover potential data security risks. Key processes include discovering sensitive data, analyzing user behavior, and compiling findings into a clear framework that helps organizations understand their risk profile. The guide also details the steps involved in the engagement, such as pre-engagement meetings, data security checks, and providing actionable recommendations to improve data security posture. Ultimately, the framework aims to enhance visibility and control over sensitive data while ensuring compliance with internal and external requirements.
