Microsoft Purview Enablement

Making Legacy Content Governable

Make Every File Governable: Turn Legacy SharePoint Content into Purview-Ready Knowledge.

Expede Nexus enriches, classifies, and structures all migrated files to ensure accurate retention, sensitivity, and compliance—so Microsoft Purview works the way it’s meant to.

Book Demo

While Microsoft Purview is a powerful governance tool, unstructured and legacy content in SharePoint often limits its effectiveness. Organizations face challenges applying retention, sensitivity, and compliance policies to files that lack metadata, context, or consistent structure.

Organizations migrating legacy content to SharePoint face challenges with Microsoft Purview

This leads to: 

Inconsistent or missing metadata prevents accurate classification and policy
 
 
Complex folder structures and large volumes make retention, sensitivity labels, and compliance rules difficult to apply
Isolated or unstructured content can result in incorrect governance decisions
 
Audit and lineage gaps create regulatory risk for compliance-driven industries
 
 

Without preparation, Purview cannot fully govern your content, exposing the organization to risk and inefficiency.

Purview Limitations

Content & File Limitations
File types, history and locations can lead to false classifications

  • PDFs, scanned documents, and attachments may not retain metadata or structure.

  • Legacy formats (Word, Excel, XML) can be incomplete or inconsistent.

  • Large migrations risk losing document relationships, audit trails, or version history.

SharePoint Structure Challenges
Complex folder structures, tables and columns cause lost or misclassification

  • Nested folders or inconsistent naming conventions reduce policy effectiveness.

  • Files spread across multiple libraries or site collections complicate retention and sensitivity enforcement.

  • Manual reorganization may be required without automated tooling.

Graph API & Policy Limitations
Graph does not always provide Purview reliable metadata due to poor SharePoint structure

  • Graph API may not expose all metadata or access attributes needed for Purview.

  • Rate limits and latency can impact large-scale policy enforcement.

  • Policies may not automatically apply across multiple sites without proper indexing.

Governance Context Limitations
Lack of document relationship data and lead to missing or misclassification

  • Purview may misclassify isolated files without enriched context.

  • Limited visibility across document relationships can impact audit and regulatory compliance.

  • Domain-specific rules or industry compliance needs may not be fully applied without pre-processing.
