Microsoft Purview: Insider Risk Management – Policy Recommendation Panel in IRM

Summary

Today, Insider Risk Management (IRM) provides policy-driven protection for data leaks, data theft, and risky AI usage. However, while policy-driven protections are powerful, customers may not always have clear visibility into where coverage can be optimized or expanded to address latent insider risk. IRM now provides guidance on what protections are missing or which policy configurations deliver the most incremental value, providing customers with more comprehensive coverage to mitigate their most critical insider risk. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
