Data Governance Foundation with Azure Purview

Kickstart or accelerate your data governance journey by implementing Microsoft Purview with a focused, high-impact workshop.

We help you identify key governance priorities, integrate critical data sources, and implement automated scanning, classification, and lineage tracking. The workshop culminates in visual insights, policy documentation, and hands-on enablement for long-term success.

Our engagement is designed to take your organization from foundational strategy through technical implementation and long-term operational success—ensuring your investment in Microsoft Purview is maximized. The workshop spans three critical phases, each with clear objectives and measurable outcomes.

Discovery & Maturity Assessment (Data Governance Charter)

We begin by understanding your organization’s current governance maturity, data ecosystem, regulatory landscape, and business objectives. Through structured interviews, assessments, and stakeholder alignment sessions, we map out where you are—and where you need to be.

Outcome: A tailored governance roadmap that bridges strategic intent with actionable priorities.

Key Activities:

• Conduct a structured data governance maturity assessment (people, process, technology).
• Identify and engage key business and technology stakeholders.
• Define governance roles, responsibilities, and decision-making structures.
• Uncover critical data risks, compliance requirements, and business drivers.
• Align governance goals with corporate strategy and desired outcomes.
• Select Purview use cases and MVP data sources

Configuration & Implementation

With strategy in place, we move to implementation. This phase focuses on configuring Microsoft Purview to meet your organization’s unique needs. We integrate with your existing data sources and systems, and set up automation to simplify governance and compliance efforts.

Outcome: A fully functional Microsoft Purview environment tailored to your governance goals and business ecosystem.

Key Activities:

• Deploy and configure Microsoft Purview resources in your Azure environment.
• Connect to defined MVP data sources (on-prem, hybrid, or cloud).
• Implement automated data scanning, classification, and metadata extraction.
• Define and apply custom classification rules, taxonomies, and sensitivity labels.
• Enable data lineage tracking and policy-based governance controls.
• Document architecture, workflows, and integration blueprints.

Operational Enablement

The final phase ensures your team is equipped to own and sustain the governance program. We provide training, operational playbooks, and performance monitoring tools—turning your data governance strategy into a living, evolving capability.

Outcome: A confident, empowered team with the tools and knowledge to drive governance excellence and continuous improvement.

Key Activities:

• Deliver stakeholder training sessions by role (data stewards, governance leads, IT).
• Build governance dashboards (via Power BI) to track compliance and coverage.
• Provide policy and workflow documentation for day-to-day operations.
• Set up a compliance checklist and governance health monitoring routines.
• Define KPIs, feedback loops, and improvement strategies.
• Offer post-engagement support and periodic health checks.

Outcome

• A comprehensive view of your current governance maturity.
• A tailored data governance strategy and operating model.
• Fully configured Microsoft Purview environment with data scanning and lineage.
• Governance policy templates and documented workflows.
• Hands-on training for key roles in your governance program.
• Initial governance dashboards and compliance monitoring setup.
• A roadmap for ongoing optimization and scalability.
