Ghani Governance · United Kingdom
Most Purview work starts from the product. We start from your written policies — or draft them — then design the Microsoft Purview posture. You engage the firm; we staff the work.
Ghani Governance works with UK organisations that already have Microsoft 365 — and often a half-configured Purview tenant — and need the Purview posture to match what the organisation has actually promised on paper. Typical buyers sit in security, compliance, data, privacy and legal, not a household “get a quote” journey.
If you need a noisy DLP estate calmed, a label model people will actually use, a catalog with owners, or Insider Risk policies that HR and the DPO can defend, that is the build. It starts from policy.
Most Microsoft Purview implementations start from a product template. We start from your written policies. Where those policies do not exist, we draft them. The output is a Policy-to-Purview design report — then the controls are built to match it.
Read data, classification, privacy, AUP, ROPA, AI, incident and cloud policies — or draft them — and map each obligation onto a Microsoft Purview control. Legal governance and technology governance in one piece of work.
Policy to Purview design →DLP, labels, catalog, Insider Risk and the rest of the platform are the build, not the starting point. They have to be defensible against the policies you already published — or the ones we just wrote with you.
All Purview services →Four primary Microsoft Purview workstreams after the policy design. Further platform capabilities — data lifecycle and records, eDiscovery, Compliance Manager, Communication Compliance, DSPM for AI — have their own pages when they are in scope.
Discover sensitive data, design policies around real exit paths, pilot in audit, then enforce without breaking the business.
DLP implementation →
A short, teachable taxonomy, publishing that matches how teams work, and protection settings tied to harm of disclosure.
Labels and Information Protection →
Scans, sources, glossary and ownership so the catalogue is not an unused inventory six weeks after go-live.
Data governance →
Proportionate indicators, investigation workflow, and a documented path that security, HR and the DPO can share.
Insider Risk →Also: Data lifecycle and records · eDiscovery · Compliance Manager · Communication Compliance · DSPM for AI
Privacy, classification, AUP, ROPA, information security, AI, incident, cloud — what is written, what is missing, what a regulator would actually read.
Each obligation mapped to a Purview control (or an honest gap if the product cannot carry it). This is the groundwater before anyone clicks “create policy”.
DLP, labels, catalog, Insider Risk and the rest — audit or a limited population before block.
Thresholds, ownership and change control so your team can run it, and so the written policy and the tenant do not drift apart.
You contract Ghani Governance, not a one-person bottleneck. A principal consultant scopes the work. Delivery is then staffed with associate Microsoft Purview specialists and, where it serves you, trusted referrals. You will know who is on the engagement.
This is a Purview implementation practice. Group DPO and privacy-counsel judgement is demonstrated in the design, not as a career-change story. Evidenced Purview delivery includes Avanade, IBM, Zurich and JP Morgan. Not a personal brand page. We do not publish a roster of fictional consultants.
Engagements are UK-wide. The first commercial focus is Manchester and Greater Manchester. That is a service area, not a claim of staffed offices in Salford, Stockport, Bolton or Trafford.
A Purview consultant designs, tests and hands over working controls — DLP policies, sensitivity labels, Unified Catalog structures, Insider Risk policies — against your real data movements and UK accountability duties. Ghani Governance is an implementation practice, not a job board and not a Microsoft product page.
No. Search results for “microsoft purview consultant” mix jobs with consultancies. This site is for organisations that need implementation help. We are not advertising roles.
DLP is the first cell. The live offer also covers sensitivity labels and Information Protection, Unified Catalog and Data Map, Insider Risk Management, data lifecycle and records management, eDiscovery, Compliance Manager, Communication Compliance, and DSPM for AI. We scope what you actually need in a discovery workshop — not every workstream by default.
Yes. Many organisations already have template policies. We review matches, exceptions, user impact and ownership, then tune before adding more enforcement.
Yes. The practice is UK-wide. Manchester and Greater Manchester are the first focus, as a service area — not because we have a staffed office there.
Ghani Governance is an independent consultancy. We work with the Microsoft Purview product you already license. We do not sell Microsoft licences from this site and we do not display partner badges we have not evidenced here.
Yes. Microsoft Purview is Microsoft’s current data security, compliance and governance product family. Feature names move; the implementation problem — making controls match real work — does not. See Microsoft Learn for product definitions.
Product licensing is Microsoft’s, not ours. We charge for discovery, design, implementation and handover time. Indicative planning ranges sit on the service pages; they are not quotes.
You engage the practice, not a one-person bottleneck. A principal consultant typically leads discovery. Delivery is then staffed with associate Microsoft Purview specialists and, where it serves the work, a trusted referral. You will know who is on the engagement.
Ghani Governance is a UK Microsoft Purview implementation practice. The offer is Purview. Group DPO and privacy-counsel judgement is demonstrated in that work — written policy first — not as a previous chapter. Hands-on Purview delivery includes Avanade, IBM, Zurich and JP Morgan. This site is the practice, not a personal brand page.
No. We start from written policy. If you already have data, classification, privacy, AUP, ROPA, AI, incident or cloud policies, we read them and design the Purview posture to match. If you do not, we draft them. The build in the tenant comes after that design report.
A scoping conversation about what you need to protect, what is already configured, and what must not break.
