Communication Compliance – Empower end users to report inappropriate posts and comments in Viva Engage

Coming soon to public preview, Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance will release a feature that empowers users to report policy-violating posts and comments in Viva Engage:

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 144596

When this will happen:

Rollout will begin in mid-December 2023 and is expected to be complete by late February 2024. 

How this will affect your organization:

Microsoft Viva Engage users are empowered to report inappropriate or concerning posts and comments violating customers’ organizational policies within Viva Engage Team conversations. These reported posts are then submitted to a Communication Compliance policy for customers’ designated investigators with the appropriate role-based access control permissions to review and take action if deemed necessary.

What you need to do to prepare:

Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance provides the tools to help organizations detect business conduct and regulatory compliance violations (e.g. SEC or FINRA), such as sensitive or confidential information, harassing or threatening language, and sharing of adult content. Built with privacy by design, user names are pseudonymized by default, role-based access controls are built in, investigators are opted in by an admin, and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.

To use this feature, please enable Viva Engage conversation reporting. Reported conversations will automatically route to Communication Compliance if a supported license is present in the tenant.

You can access the Communication Compliance solution in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
