Does achieving your organization's regulatory and compliance requirements keep you up at night? 

 

Do you wonder how you will ever be able to adhere to all the controls and ensure your organization meets regulatory compliance requirements? 

 

Do you want to ensure that you are on top of your compliance game and that the appropriate policies and guidance are followed and enforced? 

 

Look no further, Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager (MSPCM) is the tool to help you achieve these goals and more.  This training is designed to help guide you from basic concepts on your MSPCM journey to Advanced concepts.  Once completed you will have a firm understanding of the tool, its capabilities, and use.

 

Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager has a ton of data, tutorials, videos etc. that can sometimes be overwhelming and leaving you asking questions such as:

 

  • “where do I start”
  • “how do I achieve compliance”
  • “how do I recognize when my organization falls out of compliance”. 

We’ve sifted through the vast resources Microsoft has to offer for MSPCM and developed this training to guide you – all in one location, in a simple easy to follow format!  If there is anything we can do to improve this training, please do not hesitate to leave a comment below and we will be sure to review it.

 

The overall structure of this training is split into 3 main knowledge levels.  They are:

 

 

After each level, we will offer you a knowledge check based on the training material you have just finished! Since there’s a lot of content, the goal of the knowledge checks is to help ensure understanding of the key concepts that were covered. Lastly, there’ll be a fun certificate issued at the end of the training! 

 

Disclaimer: This is not an official Microsoft certification and only acts as a way of recognizing your participation in this training content.

 

The last section will cover newly released features to MSPCM and will have a knowledge check to keep you on your toes.  We plan to update this training on a regular basis to ensure that you all have the latest and the greatest training materials.  Please do check back often for new training content.  For those of you who have already gone through the training before, you can view this section directly to keep yourself up to date on the latest MSPCM has to offer.
