Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management
A solution that correlates signals to detect, investigate, and act on risky internal activities such as data leakage and IP theft.
Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management is a compliance solution that uses machine learning and policy templates to correlate signals—such as file exfiltration, unusual download volume, or departing-employee activity—into a risk score for each user, letting security teams investigate and act while protecting privacy through measures like pseudonymization. A key exam distinction is that Insider Risk Management focuses on user behavior and activity over time, whereas Communication Compliance reviews the actual content of messages for policy violations. The two are complementary and can share signals, but address different dimensions: one watches what users do, the other what users say.
