About The Purview Practitioner

I'm Luke. I specialise in Microsoft Purview - designing and deploying information protection, DLP, insider risk, and data governance across organisations of all sizes.

I built The Purview Practitioner because I kept running into the same problem: there's plenty of content out there explaining what Microsoft Purview is, but almost nothing showing how it actually works when you deploy it in a real business.

Microsoft Learn is great for feature documentation. But it doesn't tell you what happens when you turn on auto-labelling for 500 users, or how to design a DLP policy that doesn't generate 10,000 false positives, or why your Insider Risk Management alerts are firing on your CEO's PA.

The goal is to build a central hub for anyone deploying Purview in a real business. Not just my experience - a community of practitioners helping each other deploy and operate it better, sharing what works and what doesn't, and catching issues before they become problems.

Whether you're in a security team, compliance, IT admin, or a consultant rolling Purview out for clients - this is built for you.

If you've got your own experience to share - a guide, a scenario, or a gotcha from your deployment - you can submit articles directly from the Learn page. Everything is reviewed before publishing, and you get credited as the author.
