Microsoft Purview: Data Security Investigations – Introducing new soft purge mitigation action

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 4, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

A new Data Security Investigations (DSI) mitigation action, soft purge, is now available to help admins quickly and efficiently soft-delete sensitive or overshared content during investigations. Content deleted using soft purge is retained until the deleted item retention period expires, allowing admins to have further control of their data. This addition works alongside DSI’s AI-powered content analysis features, such as categorization, AI search, and examination for risk, which help surface data security risks buried in data.
