    Episode 1: You can't protect what you can't see

    Most organisations jump straight into DLP policies and encryption before doing the most important thing first - finding out where their data actually lives. In this episode, Luke and Johnny break down why visibility is the foundation of any data security project, and how Microsoft Purview's built-in tools can help you get there. We cover: - Why sensitive information types and trainable classifiers are the backbone of everything in Purview - How to use Data Explorer and Activity Explorer to understand what data you have and where it's going - The audit log - why it matters and how to check it's turned on - Shadow AI risks and why your users are your biggest exposure right now - How to get stakeholder buy-in before you touch a single policy If you're new to Purview or just trying to figure out where to start, this one's for you. Hosted by Luke Baumber and Johnny Sheehan - two Microsoft security specialists helping organisations get more from Microsoft Purview.

    Episode 2: Taxonomy First, Technology Second

    Visibility told you where your data is. Now it's time to make sense of it. In Episode 2, Luke and Johnny break down sensitivity labels and taxonomies in Microsoft Purview. Why your data handling policy should drive your label structure, how to avoid the taxonomy mistakes that derail most labelling projects, and why getting this right matters more than ever with Copilot in the mix. We cover: - What a taxonomy actually is and how to design one that sticks - Sensitivity labels as policy containers, not just tags - Client-side vs service-side labelling - Label groups: Microsoft's modern label scheme replacing parent labels - How DLP and labels work together (but don't depend on each other) - The label lockout trap and other gotchas - Why you should pilot before you publish
