Purview is powerful and complex. Senserva audits whether your labels, retention, DLP, and audit log are actually working for you.
Purview covers sensitivity labels, retention and records management, data loss prevention, and the unified audit log, the data-governance backbone of compliance. It is also notoriously complex to verify. Senserva audits Purview configuration so you know your data controls and audit logging are actually in force.
Demo and Game Mode run free, no registration, no access to your tenant. Windows and Mac.

Senserva runs standalone for full Microsoft 365 posture across configurations, logs, and CVEs, or right alongside Microsoft Purview.
| What Microsoft Purview does well | Where teams want more |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive sensitivity labeling and DLP. | Complexity makes it hard to confirm labels, retention, and DLP are correctly applied. |
| Retention and records management for regulated data. | Audit log health and coverage are easy to assume rather than verify. |
| Unified audit log for investigations and compliance. | No single, ranked view of data-governance posture. |
| Subject rights request and privacy tooling. | Mapping configuration to frameworks is manual. |
| Capability | Microsoft Purview | Senserva |
|---|---|---|
| Audit log health verification | Manual | Native checks |
| Label and retention posture | Hard to see | Surfaced |
| Compliance mapping | Partial | MCSB, CISA SCuBA, more |
| Unified with the rest of the tenant | No | Yes |

Senserva builds a complete, structured Microsoft 365 security dataset, configuration, identity, devices, logs, CVEs, and compliance mappings, as one connected graph, and opens all of it to the AI of your choice through the Claude MCP and the Senserva SDK. Bring your own model, there is no AI markup. Point Claude, or any AI you run, at the whole dataset and it can audit, threat-hunt, explain, and remediate from your real findings, not a vendor summary.
That is the part most tools do not give you. Many have no AI at all, or a closed built-in assistant you cannot point at your own model, or they keep their findings in a dashboard you cannot query. Where a tool does expose its data to your AI, Senserva runs right alongside it and adds the rest of the Microsoft 365 picture. Either way, the data stays with you, nothing is locked in a vendor cloud.
Microsoft Purview consolidates information protection, data loss prevention, retention and records management, the unified audit log, eDiscovery, Insider Risk Management, and Communication Compliance. It is the layer that classifies sensitive data and proves what happened to it, the backbone of most Microsoft 365 compliance programs.
Sensitivity labels classify and can encrypt content, enforce watermarks, and restrict sharing, and they travel with the file across SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and endpoints. A label taxonomy that is published, scoped to the right users, and actually applied (manually, automatically, or by default) is what turns classification from policy into protection.
Retention and records management keep what regulators require and dispose of what they do not, while the unified audit log records who did what across the tenant. Audit log health, ensuring auditing is on and retention meets your needs, is foundational; you cannot investigate an incident on logs you never kept.
Subject rights requests (DSAR) tooling helps fulfill privacy obligations under GDPR-style regimes, while Insider Risk Management and Communication Compliance watch for data theft and policy violations from inside. These capabilities turn Purview from a labeling tool into a full data governance program.
They overlap. Purview is the data-governance side; Senserva covers it alongside identity, device, and app posture so one scan answers both security and compliance questions.
