Herain Oberoi, General Manager of Data Security, Compliance, and Privacy at Microsoft, underscored the significance of these enhancements in ensuring compliance with privacy regulations while mitigating the risks of non-compliance. He elaborated in a recent blog post, stating, “Microsoft Priva solutions offer comprehensive support for privacy operations across entire data estates, offering expedited and cost-effective avenues to address privacy regulations and mitigate compliance risks.”
The automation capabilities embedded within the Microsoft Priva family empower organizations to automate the management, definition, and tracking of privacy procedures at scale, thereby ensuring that personal data remains private, secure, and compliant with regulatory requirements.
These automated functionalities are seamlessly integrated across the suite of products.

Moreover, the Consent Management features enable organizations to create customizable and regulatory-compliant consent models, ensuring adherence to privacy regulations. Additionally, businesses can leverage Subject Rights Requests to fulfill subject rights requests across various environments, including on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud infrastructures.
