- "DLP and IRM tools such as Microsoft Purview "scan the content of emails, Teams messages and documents..." which is itself a processing activity with significant privacy implications." (Muse Glimmer 30B, Insider risk)
- "Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management (according to current reviews):
  - Windows-only browser signals (no Linux coverage)
  - 100-case active case cap" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Insider risk)
