Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management is one of the most powerful — and most misunderstood — capabilities in the Microsoft 365 compliance stack. Many organizations enable it expecting instant protection, only to be overwhelmed by noise, privacy concerns, or alerts that don’t reflect real risk.
In this session, we focus entirely on getting Insider Risk Management configured correctly from day one.
Rather than jumping straight into policies, alerts, or investigations, we’ll walk through the critical global settings, prerequisites, and design decisions that determine whether Insider Risk becomes a trusted control or an operational burden. Attendees will learn how to properly configure roles and privacy safeguards, tune global indicator settings, define exclusions, align monitoring with business risk, and avoid common missteps that lead to false positives or employee mistrust.
This session is practical, opinionated, and experience‑driven, designed for practitioners who want Insider Risk to add real value — not fear, noise, or confusion — to their organization.
