Priva (Privacy Risk Management)

Deploy Microsoft Priva to identify and reduce privacy risk - policy setup, risk scenario configuration, workflow design, and operational governance.

Privacy risk is not only a compliance problem - it is an operational risk. Organisations need to reduce the likelihood of over-sharing, unnecessary retention, and inappropriate access to personal data, while maintaining business productivity. Microsoft positions Microsoft Priva as a solution family that helps organisations understand and manage privacy risks and automate privacy-related requests.
LW IT Solutions deploys Priva with a governance-first approach. We identify your priority privacy risks, configure Priva risk management capabilities in line with your organisational structure, and design workflows that can be sustained by your teams. You receive a practical operating model - ownership, triage, escalation, and evidence - so privacy risk management becomes measurable, repeatable, and aligned to your broader Purview data security controls.
