What is Microsoft Purview?
Microsoft Purview is the unified data governance and compliance platform inside Microsoft 365 that delivers sensitivity labels, Data Loss Prevention, Insider Risk Management, eDiscovery, Communication Compliance, Records Management, and Audit across Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Windows endpoints. For an Indian business, Microsoft Purview is the single console that proves DPDP-aligned data handling, blocks accidental sharing of PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN, or financial PII outside the tenant, and produces the audit trail an IRDAI, SEBI, RBI, or CERT-In inspector asks for. The full vendor catalogue lives on Microsoft Learn.
The buying decision usually splits three ways: Microsoft Purview Information Protection bundled inside M365 Business Premium and E3 for sensitivity labels and starter DLP, the Microsoft Purview E5 Compliance add-on for Insider Risk Management plus eDiscovery Premium plus Communication Compliance, and a Sirius Star Purview managed retainer where the policy library, DLP incident triage, and quarterly posture review are run for you. Each tier carries the same Indian data residency in the Pune and Chennai datacentres and aligns to the Ministry of Electronics and IT DPDP framework. The free 24-hour Purview review tells you which tier you need.

Is Microsoft Purview right for your data team?
Microsoft Purview from Sirius Star is a managed deployment, sensitivity label taxonomy build, DLP and Insider Risk Management policy rollout, eDiscovery enablement, and quarterly compliance retainer for Indian businesses running 50 to 2,000 M365 seats, delivered from Vashi, Navi Mumbai with a 24-hour Purview readiness review, DPDP-aligned policy templates, and Microsoft Partner-grade configuration.
You are the right buyer if:
- 50-plus M365 users handling PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN, or financial PII
- Regulator (IRDAI, SEBI, RBI, CERT-In) has asked for a DPDP audit trail
- Accidental external Teams or OneDrive sharing has happened in the last 12 months
- You already pay for M365 Business Premium or E3 and want the labels switched on
- Last eDiscovery case took more than two weeks to assemble manually
- You want one console replacing parallel Symantec, Forcepoint, or McAfee DLP licences
If your data sits outside M365 (raw file-server shares, on-premise SAP, legacy mail), Purview only covers the M365 slice. If the leak vector is the endpoint itself (USB, print, screenshot, personal Gmail from an unmanaged laptop), pair Purview with Sirius Star Secure Data Guard. We will tell you so in the review.
Microsoft Purview vs Secure Data Guard vs Symantec DLP, honest call
Microsoft Purview wins the M365 tenant: Exchange mail, OneDrive files, SharePoint sites, Teams chats, and Windows endpoint signals. It is the only DLP that lives inside the same identity, the same policy plane, and the same Indian datacentre as the rest of your M365 estate, and it is the cheapest path to a DPDP-shaped audit trail. See the vendor catalogue on Microsoft Learn Purview overview.
Sirius Star Secure Data Guard wins the endpoint: USB block, print block, clipboard guard, screenshot guard, and personal-Gmail upload block on managed and unmanaged laptops. Symantec DLP and Forcepoint DLP still win the legacy file-server estate and raw SMB shares that never moved into M365. Most Indian businesses past 80 seats end up running Purview for the tenant plus Secure Data Guard for the endpoint. The free 24-hour Purview review tells you the mix. Pair the retainer with Microsoft Sentinel for the SIEM correlation and with Microsoft Defender for endpoint EDR. Signals from CERT-In advisories flow into the quarterly retainer review.
Microsoft Purview FAQ for Indian compliance leads
What is Microsoft Purview and what does it do for an Indian business?
Microsoft Purview is the unified data governance and compliance platform inside Microsoft 365 that delivers sensitivity labels, Data Loss Prevention, Insider Risk Management, eDiscovery, Communication Compliance, Records Management, and Audit across Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Windows endpoints. For an Indian business, Microsoft Purview is the single console that proves DPDP-aligned data handling, blocks accidental sharing of PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN, or financial PII outside the tenant, and produces the audit trail an IRDAI, SEBI, or RBI inspector asks for. Pair it with Microsoft 365 Business Premium identity hygiene to keep the signer set clean.
What does Microsoft Purview cost in India in 2026?
Microsoft Purview pricing in 2026 sits at three real price points. Information Protection ships inside M365 Business Premium and E3 at INR 560 per user per month, covering sensitivity labels and a starter Data Loss Prevention policy set. The Microsoft Purview E5 Compliance add-on lands at INR 990 per user per month and unlocks Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance, Records Management, full eDiscovery Premium, and Audit Premium. A Sirius Star Purview managed compliance retainer runs INR 24,500 per tenant per month and bundles policy authoring, sensitivity label tuning, DLP incident triage, and the quarterly posture review.
Microsoft Purview vs Secure Data Guard, which fits an Indian business?
Microsoft Purview is the right answer when the data sits inside M365: Exchange mail, OneDrive files, SharePoint sites, Teams chats and channels. Sirius Star Secure Data Guard is the right answer when the leak vector is the endpoint itself: USB, print, screenshot, clipboard, or personal Gmail upload from an unmanaged laptop. Most Indian businesses past 80 seats end up running both: Purview governs the M365 tenant, Secure Data Guard governs the endpoint. The free 24-hour readiness review tells you which mix fits and what each layer should block versus warn.
How does Microsoft Purview handle DPDP compliance for Indian businesses?
Microsoft Purview ships ready-made sensitivity label and DLP policy templates aligned to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, including detectors for PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN, IFSC, voter ID, passport number, and credit card. Sirius Star deploys these as a labelled taxonomy across Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, wires DLP block-or-warn actions on external sharing, enables the Insider Risk Management policy set for high-risk exits, and produces a DPDP audit trail every quarter. Full Purview rollout for a 320-user Indian tenant lands in 18 to 25 business days end-to-end. Layer in AvePoint M365 for the records archive.
