Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager
A risk-assessment tool that measures compliance posture with a compliance score and recommends improvement actions against regulatory assessments.
Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is a risk-assessment tool in the Microsoft Purview portal that measures an organization’s environment against regulatory standards—such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and HIPAA—and surfaces a numeric compliance score. Prebuilt assessments map Microsoft-managed controls alongside customer-managed improvement actions that administrators complete to raise the score. A key exam distinction is that Compliance Manager measures and guides remediation; it does not enforce policies or classify data—enforcement comes from other Purview solutions like Data Loss Prevention or Information Protection. Questions about a compliance score or improvement actions point here, not Microsoft Secure Score.
