Purview’s Preview Portal

• A new Microsoft Purview portal brings together previously separate compliance and data governance functions.
• None of the underlying services have changed; the portal simply groups related capabilities together
• A “free” version of the Purview portal adds a data catalog to the existing compliance capabilities; the “enterprise” version adds access to advanced data governance features (from the separate Azure Purview service) for data sources in Azure, other clouds, and on-premises.

Microsoft continues to consolidate its regulatory compliance and data governance capabilities by enabling management through a single portal, similar to Microsoft Defender XDR’s portal, which is currently in preview. Previously, Azure Purview and Microsoft Purview, while having Purview in their names, were separate services and interfaces. Azure Purview provides data governance services such as data map, data classification, and analytics for data sources in Azure; other clouds; and on-premises. Microsoft
