Opportunities**

Adopting Pay-as-you-go Model for Cost Management
Transitioning to a pay-as-you-go model for Microsoft Purview can lead to better cost management by aligning expenses with actual usage, allowing organizations to pay only for the services they consume. This can optimize budgets and potentially reduce unnecessary spending on unused licenses or features.
   - next-steps: Conduct a usage analysis to determine current activity levels and forecast future needs. Communicate the new model to finance and IT teams to prepare for the transition and establish a monitoring process for ongoing usage.

Enhanced Insider Risk Management Capabilities
The new indicators for cloud storage apps and services will enhance the ability to detect and manage insider risks, such as data leakage and IP theft, by correlating various signals. This improvement can lead to better compliance and risk mitigation strategies, ultimately protecting sensitive organizational data.
   - next-steps: Review and update internal policies to align with the new capabilities. Train relevant staff on how to utilize the new indicators effectively and implement monitoring practices to respond to identified risks.

Streamlined Administrative Processes with Role-based Access Controls
The implementation of role-based access controls and audit logs within Microsoft Purview will streamline administrative processes, allowing for more efficient management of user permissions and better tracking of user activities. This can enhance security and reduce the administrative burden on IT teams.
   - next-steps: Audit current user roles and permissions to ensure they align with the new system. Develop training materials for admins on managing access controls and utilizing audit logs for compliance and security reviews.
