Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management enables organizations to identify and manage insider risks by using data from various sources and security tools. Integrating these data sources helps refine risk detection, improve policy effectiveness, and support thorough investigations—while maintaining user privacy and respecting organizational policies.
What are connectors?
Connectors allow Insider Risk Management to import data from internal and external systems. This data provides insights that support the creation of effective policies and the identification of relevant patterns or activities. The imported data is securely managed and used to align with organizational goals and compliance requirements.
Examples include:
- HR connectors: Use employee lifecycle data, such as resignation or termination dates, to inform policies about departing employees.
- Healthcare connectors: Import electronic health record (EHR) audit data to help identify unauthorized access or data handling.
- Cloud app connectors: Bring in detections from non-Microsoft applications, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, to expand visibility into data usage.
These integrations focus on providing actionable insights, enabling organizations to respond to risks proactively while respecting privacy.
