Introduction

Imagine you're part of a large organization that handles vast amounts of data daily. The data is scattered across different departments and systems, making it difficult to manage, secure, and use effectively. The challenge is to implement a data governance strategy that not only ensures data security and compliance but also enhances data visibility and creates business value. This is where Microsoft Purview's data governance solutions come into play.

In this module, you start by learning about key principles of data governance, the roles involved in it, and the benefits that good data governance can bring to an organization. Then you learn about the two primary data governance solutions in Microsoft Purview: Data Map and Unified Catalog.

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

• Describe the concepts and benefits of data governance.
• Describe what Microsoft Purview Data Map does and why it matters.
• Describe key features of Microsoft Purview Unified Catalog.
