How is Microsoft Purview different from Microsoft 365 Compliance?

Microsoft Purview is the overarching data governance and compliance platform that provides visibility, classification, and protection across all your data, both in Microsoft 365, Azure, and on-premises systems.

Microsoft 365 Compliance, on the other hand, is a subset of Purview focused on compliance features in Microsoft 365, including information protection, insider risk management, eDiscovery, and audit solutions.

In short, Purview unifies governance across all environments, while Microsoft 365 Compliance delivers compliance tools specifically for Microsoft 365 workloads.
