How did Microsoft Purview improve data governance for Kern County?
By implementing Microsoft Purview, Kern County achieved visibility into data risks, consistent data classification, and access monitoring. They classified over 13 million files and saw more than 3,000 data loss prevention (DLP) alerts in just one month, which significantly reduced risk and improved audit readiness.
What future plans does Kern County have for data security?
Kern County plans to further invest in Purview's data governance tools to strengthen their data security foundation. They aim to deploy approximately 400 Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses in a controlled manner, ensuring strict access reviews and user training to maintain robust security as they integrate AI tools.
