Microsoft Purview: Data Security Investigations – Introducing new custom examination

Summary

Data Security Investigations (DSI) is introducing the ability to create custom examination focus areas. This feature will empower admins to tailor examination to their specific needs depending on the type of investigation being performed and the information they are most concerned with. This addition works alongside DSI’s AI-powered content analysis features, such as categorization, AI search, and examination for risk, which help surface data security risks buried in data.
