About the Microsoft Purview Audit

Microsoft Purview Audit is a comprehensive auditing solution that provides an integrated way to capture, record, and retain user and admin activities across various Microsoft 365 services. It helps organizations effectively respond to security incidents, conduct forensic investigations, address internal inquiries, and meet compliance obligations. Available in two tiers, Audit (Standard) and Audit (Premium), it offers searchable audit logs for thousands of activities, providing granular visibility into user and administrator actions. The platform leverages the Microsoft Purview portal for search and analysis, and also integrates with PowerShell and the Office 365 Management Activity API for programmatic access and longer data retention. It is a critical component of Microsoft's broader compliance and risk management offerings.
