HI LeonPavesic,

Thank you for your concise reply - much appreciated.

Just have a followup question, based on your comment:
"You can use the discovery tools in Purview IP to discover data, but you will also need to use the discovery tools in Purview DLM/RM to discover records."

- I am familiar with the Purview IP discovery tools (both the on-prem tool (AIPScanner) and the Cloud scanner
- However, I am not familiar with the Purview DLM/RM discovery tools - where are these? Are they in the Compliance Portal? Do you perhaps have a link to an article or a screenshot of where these discovery tools are? Basically, how do I start a Purview DLM/RM discovery?

Thank you,
Shim

Hi ShimKwan,

thanks for the update.

Purview DLM/RM discovery tools are in Compliance (Purview) Center, here is a very detailed and a usefull blog article you can use:

Training | Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle and Records Management

    Hi LeonPavesic,

    Thank you for that great link.
    I have reviewed its contents, but unfortunately still cannot locate the answer to my question.

    MS Purview Information Protection documentation is very clear on how to DISCOVER your data on-prem and Cloud:
    1. Open Microsoft Purview compliance portal > Data classification > Content explorer - shows us the Sensitive Information Types found across Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/data-classification-content-explorer#content-explorer)
    2. The on-premises AIP Scanner DISCOVERY is also clearly documented: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/deploy-scanner

    But I still cannot find information on how to actually do DISCOVERY for Purview DLM/RM - can you please send me the exact link or steps on how to perform this? All the online Purview DLM/RM documentation goes straight into Data Retention and Labeling, and says nothing about data DISCOVERY (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/manage-data-governance).

    Please could you help.

    Thank you,
    SK

    PS.

     

    OR does Purview DLM/RM actually rely on the following for Data Discovery (as opposed to having its own Discovery method?):

    1. Open Microsoft Purview compliance portal > Data classification > Content explorer

    2. The on-premises AIP Scanner
