eQIP Framework for Data Governance with Microsoft Purview
A phased framework to understand data risk, strengthen protection, and operationalize governance across your organization.
Build a Stronger Data Governance Foundation
Organizations need clear visibility into their data before they can govern, protect, and use it effectively. The eQIP Framework provides a structured approach to assessing data risk, implementing Microsoft Purview, and establishing governance that can scale with your organization.
Through a phased methodology, eQIP helps teams understand where sensitive data lives, quantify exposure, improve classification and protection, and establish the policies needed to manage information responsibly over time.
That foundation can support broader initiatives including Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI adoption, regulatory compliance, data security, and information governance without making any one initiative the purpose of eQIP.
Data Risk Visibility
Understand where sensitive data lives, how it is accessed, and where exposure exists.
Structured Governance
Apply a phased framework aligned to your security, compliance, and business requirements.
Scalable Protection
Implement Microsoft Purview controls that strengthen protection as your data environment grows.
What to Expect
How eQIP Delivers Value
eQIP guides organizations through four connected stages of data governance, moving from awareness and risk visibility to classification and protection.
Educate
Build understanding of data security, governance responsibilities, and Microsoft Purview across technical teams and leadership.
Quantify
Assess sensitive data exposure and identify areas of risk across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and cloud workloads.
Identify
Discover, classify, and label sensitive information using Microsoft Purview intelligence and policies.
Protect
Apply data protection, compliance, and remediation controls based on identified risk and organizational priorities.
Extend Your Governance Foundation to AI
Strong data governance can also help organizations prepare for Microsoft 365 Copilot and other AI initiatives. By improving visibility, classification, access, and protection first, eQIP helps reduce the risk of exposing sensitive or overshared information through AI-powered experiences.
