Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Collection policies impact on IRM Beta
Data as of 2 hours ago (9 September 2026)
Description
With this update, Microsoft Purview will start supporting collection policies. Collection policies allow customers to scope classification (SITs - Sensitive Information Types) and activities for scoped users. We recommend reviewing collection policies as they can be created by different Purview solution admins to ensure they are setup to detect the activities required by IRM policies Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies to manage security and compliance. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
