Data Analytics Monthly Forum

Bringing governance, risk and compliance together in a complex data landscape

Tuesday 5th May 2026

12pm – 1pm

This event is a webinar

Join us for our May Data Analytics Monthly Forum and explore how Microsoft Purview brings together governance, compliance and risk!

Connect with like-minded data enthusiasts at our Data Analytics Monthly Forum and explore the themes shaping today’s data-driven world. 

Each monthly session is carefully curated around a focused theme, delivering practical, relevant insight that is grounded in real-world examples and technical expertise. 

Data is everywhere, moving faster than organisations can track. Sensitive information is exposed in unexpected ways, employees explore tools outside defined guardrails, and complex estates make visibility and compliance a constant challenge.  

So, how do you ensure trust in your data and stay audit-ready?  

The answer lies in strong data governance. Without it, trust falters, risks multiply, and regulatory obligations become harder to meet.  

Join our May Data Analytics Monthly Forum to explore how Microsoft Purview brings risk detection, governance and compliance together, helping organisations reduce exposure and stay compliant across their data estate.  

Why This Conversation Matters 

Forward-thinking organisations are prioritising good governance to ensure data is secure and compliant in this complex data landscape. As AI adoption accelerates, leaders are recognising that strong foundations, not reactive controls, are what makes compliance achievable at scale.

Many are already addressing compliance challenges by automating regulatory requirements like GDPR, creating ownership rules and using AI-driven risk signals in Purview to detect risky behaviour.

Whether you’re a strategy leader or hands-on analyst, just starting or refining your approach, this session will position Purview compliance in a new light and explain why it matters more than ever.
