Comprehensive data governance leveraging Microsoft Purview
Managing large-scale data governance is complex, particularly when critical insights are buried within interfaces. While Microsoft Purview provides a powerful foundation, many organisations want to build on this using business context that helps to make data risk real to the business owners of the data and the business processes that create data.
DataLens provides Purview-driven big-data analytics, where businesses can efficiently analyse data sensitivity, size, age and permissions across M365 and on-premises environments, creating an estate-wide view that empowers data owners to make informed decisions and prioritise risk management.
Our approach
At Increment, we believe in empowering organisations with the tools and insights they need to effectively manage and protect their data. Our approach is centred around leveraging the native capabilities of Microsoft 365 to provide comprehensive and scalable solutions for data governance.
By combining Microsoft core services such as Purview, Graph, Entra ID, Synapse and Fabric, we enable organisations to collect and analyse unstructured data across their entire data estate. This ensures that data is never sent off-site and remains within the secure environment of your Microsoft tenant.
ANALYSE
DataLens leverages a PowerBI dashboard to deliver large-scale analysis of your unstructured data estate in M365 and on-premises. By visualising data sensitivity, size, age and permissions, users can monitor activity, analyse permissions and identify risky data pockets for a comprehensive understanding of their data landscape.
PRIORITISE
DataLens simplifies governance processes by enabling businesses to prioritise risk management efforts. It transforms unstructured data into actionable insights, helping organisations focus on the most critical risks.
OPTIMISE
With actionable insights, organisations can allocate resources more effectively. DataLens reduces the workload on IT and security teams, allowing them to address high-priority risks and streamline remediation efforts, such as labelling or deleting risky data stores.
PROTECT
DataLens empowers organisations to implement data governance policies consistently. By restricting permissions and safeguarding sensitive information, the solution ensures compliance and strengthens overall data protection while enabling efficient, scalable management of the data estate.
How it works
With features like 'Permissions Lens', 'Activity Lens', and 'Storage Lens', data owners can gain structured viewpoints into your organisations data, monitor sensitive data usage, and identify risky pockets of data.
The DataLens solution is deployed as a set of Azure resources into your environment, with optional on-premises components to provide expanded visibility.
A PowerBI dashboard combines your organisational data in Entra ID with Purview data streams.
Data is refreshed regularly to ensure up-to-date metrics.
Data risk owners are identified, and reports can be published to MS Teams collaboration sites for integrated business visibility.
Changes can be made in bulk for classification/labelling, versioning, archiving or deletion.
Automation components can be ‘click to fix’ permissions based on user input or automated.
Addressing critical needs
DataLens is designed to address three critical needs in the data security and Copilot readiness journey.
Business-centric view of Data Movement
Provide business data owners visibility of sensitive data risk, enabling informed outcomes by decision-makers that drives ownership and adoption of information security controls.
Data Storage Reporting
Lower data risk by understanding how much aged data is being stored that can be removed and reducing the footprint of stored data that is no longer required by the business.
Data Permissions Discovery
Minimise data exposure and prepare for Microsoft Copilot by discovering where your sensitive data is over-permissioned and accessible by generative AI.
