Join us for a practical, K–12-focused session on maximizing your district’s security and ROI in Microsoft Purview by enabling key, often-overlooked features.

We will demonstrate how to gain deep visibility into where sensitive student and staff data resides across Microsoft 365—and how it’s used—without creating friction for educators. You will learn how enabling auditing, co-authoring, and native PDF support streamlines incident investigations, public records requests, and daily collaboration. Finally, we’ll walk through real-world K–12 scenarios using Content Explorer and Activity Explorer to surface hidden risks in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, building a solid foundation for advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.

Top 3 Actionable Takeaways:

  • Gain Full Incident Visibility: Enable Purview auditing across your tenant to maintain a clear audit trail of who accessed or shared sensitive student and staff data when security events arise.

  • Remove Collaboration Roadblocks: Enable co-authoring and native PDF support for encrypted files so educators and administrators can securely collaborate on IEPs and sensitive documents without breaking protection protocols.

  • Eliminate Data Blind Spots: Leverage Content Explorer and Activity Explorer on a quarterly cadence to track high-risk data across SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, ensuring your future DLP strategy is grounded in real environment usage.
