Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is used for governance and checking to ensure that what is being put out there is correct and is not violating any corporate policies. We use it for data classification, being able to identify which files are sitting in different areas. This allows us to figure out where our compliance levels are for CIS or NIST standards.
When I tried to set up Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager for my organization to ensure people are not sending PII documents, especially payment cards, using keywords for flagging, it disrupted our services, so we had to deactivate it. I am familiar with Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager. I have known Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager for 3 to 4 years, but in my current role, I have used it deeply for a year plus now. It is not a place I go to on a daily basis except when I want to do audits, check the Data Loss Prevention policies, or perform content search. These are the features I use it for - audits, Data Loss Prevention, and content search.
