Week of April 30, 2026
Microsoft Purview is introducing a major evolution of Data Security Posture Management, delivering a unified experience that brings together visibility and control across both traditional data environments and AI-driven workflows. The new DSPM experience features outcome-based guided workflows that help security teams prioritize risks and move faster from insight to remediation, with Security Copilot agents available to automate tasks like triage and policy management. Coverage now extends beyond Microsoft data with third-party signals from partners including BigID, Cyera, OneTrust, and Varonis — giving teams a single view of sensitive data across clouds and platforms. Additional enhancements include AI observability, Data Risk Assessments extended to Microsoft Fabric, and bulk remediation of overshared SharePoint links. The feature is currently in development and expected to begin rolling out in July 2026.
