- Microsoft Purview: Data Lifecycle Management – DLM Retention support Microsoft Teams call logs – Microsoft Teams stores call logs in several persistent locations, such as CDR logs. Currently, these logs are retained indefinitely. However, regulatory requirements in various countries specify maximum retention periods for calling-related logs.

The new DSPM experience unifies visibility and control across traditional data and AI-driven environments, delivering outcome-based guided workflows that turn insights into actionable steps—so teams can prioritize risks and remediate faster. It brings AI observability, enhanced posture reporting, and intelligent Security Copilot agents to automate tasks like triage and policy management. Plus, Purview now extends coverage beyond Microsoft data with third-party signals from partners like BigID, Cyera, OneTrust, and Varonis, giving security teams a single, streamlined view of sensitive data across clouds and platforms. Together, these innovations make DSPM the central hub for managing data security posture in the era of AI. We are also extending Data Risk Assessments to Fabric and to item-level analysis with new remediation actions like bulk disabling of overshared SharePoint links.

Release – July CY2026
- Microsoft Purview: Insider Risk Management – Reduce temporary file noise for Endpoint activities in IRM – When files are opened in Windows, the operating system and applications (for example, Microsoft Office and browsers) can create, rename, and delete temporary files as part of normal behavior. The Endpoint client audits these activities, resulting in high-volume, low-signal events that appear as “noise” for Insider Risk Management (IRM) customers. While global exclusions exist (file type, keyword, file path, etc.), some temporary file naming patterns are not easily captured with the current exclusions, leaving customers without a practical way to reduce noise without over-excluding. This feature introduces built-in filtering for well-known temporary file name patterns so that Endpoint file operations are excluded from IRM activity explorer and scoring, reducing noise and allowing customers to focus on the most relevant alerts. 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 based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. 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.

The process also involves creating a migration endpoint, running an analysis-only migration batch, using the analysis results to configure the final batch, and then starting the batch to import PST content into target mailboxes.
