Protect What’s Inside Your Organization
Purview Insider Risk Management
Detect, understand, and reduce insider risk-without breaking employee trust.
Insider threats don’t always come from bad actors. They often stem from stress, mistakes, or policy blind spots. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management helps organizations spot risky behavior early, investigate with context, and act responsibly-while respecting privacy and compliance boundaries.
What Is Insider Risk Management?
Insider Risk Management is a security and compliance approach focused on identifying, understanding, and reducing risks that originate from people inside an organization—such as employees, contractors, or partners. Unlike traditional cybersecurity threats, insider risks are often unintentional. They may stem from stress, negligence, policy gaps, or role changes. Effective insider risk management combines behavioral signals, context, and governance to prevent incidents—without assuming malicious intent.
Why Insider Risk Is More Complex Than Traditional Security Threats
Insider risk lives in the gray area-between intent, behavior, and policy. Most organizations struggle to detect risk early without overwhelming security teams or eroding employee trust.
