DSPM not just for AI
New guy diving into Purview trying to learn as much as I can about it.
My organization is a GCC tenant so we have lots of caveats on what we see vs preview vs commercial, so that's fun.
Long story short, I read the below article on DSPM from Nov 2025:
Beyond Visibility: The new Microsoft Purview Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) experience | Microsoft Community Hub
Would love the functionality of that but I cannot find DSPM proper in Purview. I see "DSPM for AI" but not seeing anything of non-AI DSPM anywhere in Purview. Even in the Tech Community site, there is no traditional DSPM listed in Purview or Security

Hello HathMH,
DSPM for AI is part of the new Data Security Posture Management experience, which is currently in preview. This new experience is intended to be the unified, forward-looking DSPM solution, covering both traditional data security posture scenarios and AI-related risks over time.
Learn more about the new preview experience here:
Learn about the new preview version of Microsoft Purview Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) | Microsoft LearnThe traditional DSPM exists today as DSPM (classic) and DSPM for AI (classic) and are accessible only from the classic purview portal, which is why you don’t see a separate “DSPM” entry in the modern Purview or Microsoft Defender portals.

Since you’re in a GCC tenant, availability is more limited compared to commercial tenants. Refer to: Plan for Microsoft Purview - GCC deployments - Service Descriptions | Microsoft Learn
Hope this helps!Regards,
