Objectives of the training: Microsoft Purview SC-5003 Training Course – Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention
By the end of the course, the participant will be able to:
- Master the use of Microsoft Purview to strengthen data security and compliance in Microsoft 365
- Create and manage custom sensitive information types to classify critical data

Prerequisites of the training: Microsoft Purview SC-5003 Training Course – Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention
A good understanding of the Microsoft 365 environment – particularly the tenant, users and licences – is recommended. Prior experience in IT administration or security (for example with Active Directory or identity management) will make the concepts easier to assimilate. Familiarity with Azure AD and core cloud security concepts is a valuable asset, although not essential.
Because every participant has a specific background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert helps identify objectives, level and professional challenges, so we can tailor the content for relevant, personalised learning.
Target audience of the training: Microsoft Purview SC-5003 Training Course – Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention
Microsoft 365 administrators, IT managers and security consultants.
