Ghani Governance is a UK Microsoft Purview consultancy — an implementation practice, not a product page and not a personal brand site. Organisations still have to make a DLP policy that a finance team can live with, and that a regulator can understand. That is the work this practice exists to do.
The practice is led by its founder, Salman A Ghani — a Microsoft Purview consultant and privacy counsel. You engage the firm. Salman typically leads discovery and the principal-consultant work himself. Delivery is then staffed with associate Microsoft Purview specialists and, where it serves the client, trusted referrals.
The offer is Microsoft Purview implementation. Group DPO and privacy-counsel judgement is demonstrated in how that work is designed — see the founder note below. We do not invent job titles, dates, awards, client stories, or a bench of fictional named consultants.
The unusual combination is the method: read (or draft) written policy, then design Microsoft Purview from that paper. See Policy to Purview design.
The practice implements Microsoft Purview across protect, govern and investigate workstreams: DLP, sensitivity labels and Information Protection, Unified Catalog and Data Map, Insider Risk Management, data lifecycle and records, eDiscovery, Compliance Manager, Communication Compliance, and DSPM for AI. Work is UK-wide, with a first focus on Manchester and Greater Manchester as a service area — not a staffed office network.
Ghani Governance was founded by Salman A Ghani, a Microsoft Purview consultant and privacy counsel. His evidenced Microsoft Purview delivery includes Avanade, IBM, Zurich and JP Morgan — listed because they are evidenced, not invented. He leads discovery and principal-consultant work personally, supported by associate Purview specialists.
His working ground is the join between data-protection law and the Purview control set: UK GDPR, DPO practice and records of processing on one side; DLP, sensitivity labels, Unified Catalog, Insider Risk Management, eDiscovery and DSPM for AI on the other.
