Purview integration - Where does the file content get scanned?
Hi Charles1575,
Generally with this integration we would extract the file content from the datacenter where MDA is located and then check with DCS to understand the what sensitive content is included, then discard it. For the file itself we only store the metadata in MDA.That being said, anytime you are looking for 1st party scenarios I would suggest looking into Purview first and then use MDA to cover edge cases such as admin quarantine and scanning specific folders for instance.
Would you know if this is mentioned somewhere in Microsoft's documentation?
Keith_Fleming : Would you be able to confirm what techtalk_nu mentioned above in his reply?
We have strict data residency requirements but we would like to be able to leverage this purview integration.
Thanks.
