Are you flying blind when it comes to your team's activity in Microsoft 365? In a hybrid work world, sensitive data moves faster than ever, and simple usage reports are not enough to keep your organization secure. Today we explore how Microsoft Purview Audit provides the forensic-level detail you need to protect your data and meet strict compliance standards.

In this video, we break down the critical difference between surface-level usage charts and deep forensic auditing. You will learn why relying on basic reports can leave you with dangerous blind spots during a legal investigation or a security breach. We dive into the specific features of Purview Audit Standard and Premium, explaining how extended retention and advanced signals can be the difference between stopping a threat and losing your data.

We also provide a practical walkthrough of the Purview Compliance Portal so you can confirm your logging is active and run your first search. Beyond the basics, we discuss how to level up your security posture using PowerShell automation and Microsoft Sentinel integration. By the end of this guide, you will understand how to transition from a reactive mindset to a proactive strategy that uses baselining to spot anomalies before they spiral out of control.
