Communication Compliance is an insider risk solution in Microsoft 365 that helps minimize communication risks by helping you detect, capture, and act on inappropriate messages in your organization. Pre-defined and custom policies allow you to scan internal and external communications for policy matches so they can be examined by designated reviewers. Reviewers can investigate scanned email, Microsoft Teams, Yammer, or third-party communications in your organization and take appropriate actions to make sure they're compliant with your organization's message standards.

Communication Compliance policies in Microsoft 365 help you overcome many modern challenges associated with compliance and internal and external communications, including:
-Scanning increasing types of communication channels
-The increasing volume of message data
-Regulatory enforcement and the risk of fines
Additionally, there may be a separation of duties between your IT admins and your compliance management team. Communication Compliance supports the separation between configuration of policies and the investigation and review of messages. For example, the IT group for your organization may be responsible for setting up communication compliance role permissions, groups, and policies and investigators and reviewers may be responsible for message triage, review, and mitigation actions.

| System administrator | 3.5 | I use Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance for data loss prevention and public record requests, appreciating its case-building and compliance features. It integrates well, saves time, but could improve with more tutorials and user-friendly interfaces. |
| Vice President of Technology at Park Avenue Finance | 4.5 | I use Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance to monitor sensitive data and communications, creating rules and integrating with Microsoft Intune and Sentinel. While robust for security, improvements are needed for web application compliance. Previously, I've used AWS and Google Cloud. |
| Product manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I found that Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance needs more AI-driven automation for improvement. Despite this, the tool has delivered ROI. I have not considered or used other solutions, and I haven't specified a cloud provider. |
