Key features of Microsoft Purview Audit (Premium)
Customized retention policies
Create customized audit log retention policies to retain audit records based on the service where the audited activities occur, specific audited activities, or the user who performs an audited activity.
Longer retention of audit records
Retain Audit (Premium) users' audit log records of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Entra ID for one year by default and 180 days for all other activities. Retain audit log records for up to 10 years with an add-on license.
Intelligent insights
Support investigations by providing visibility to events such as when mail items were accessed, replied to and forwarded, or when and what a user searched for in Exchange Online and SharePoint Online.
Higher API bandwidth access
Organizations are initially allocated a baseline of 2,000 requests to the Office 365 Management Activity API per minute, where this limit will dynamically increase depending on an organization's seat count and their licensing subscription, resulting in about twice the bandwidth as organizations with Audit (Standard).
How Audit powers your investigations
Audit provides crucial event data that can help you investigate possible breaches and determine the scope of compromise.
