Course Details
Course Overview
Purview in a Day — Executive Edition is a strategic awareness programme for executives who need a board-level understanding of Microsoft Purview before committing to deployment. Across eight hours of facilitated boardroom dialogue you will work through the Purview portfolio, ROI modelling against your current regulatory exposure, a structured vendor comparison framework, and the business case narrative that boards, audit committees, and Australian regulators expect to see. The programme is grounded in Microsoft Purview deployment guidance, the Australian Privacy Act 1988, Australian Privacy Principle 11 (security of personal information), and the OAIC Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. You leave with a completed ROI model, a vendor comparison framework, and a draft deployment business case template ready to take into your next executive committee or board meeting. Designed for CXOs, budget approvers, and senior compliance leaders, the course is Module 1 of 6 in the EDUC4TE Purview Training Track — the natural entry point before committing your practitioners to operational Purview training.
