What is Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance Center?

Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance Center (now primarily accessed through the Microsoft Purview compliance portal) is a web-based portal that provides tools and dashboards for managing an organization's security, compliance, and governance posture across Microsoft 365 services. It allows administrators to manage data loss prevention (DLP), eDiscovery, retention policies, permissions, threat management, and other security and compliance-related settings. It is commonly used by IT professionals, compliance officers, and security teams to protect sensitive data, meet regulatory requirements, and manage risks associated with their organization's data and applications.
