Assessments and improvement actions
Turn Compliance Manager into a working assessment programme — not a score you glance at once.
Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager can hold assessments, recommended improvement actions and a score. Opening a UK GDPR template is not an implementation. The work is choosing which assessments you will actually run, who owns each action, what evidence looks like, and which Purview controls those actions depend on.
Ghani Governance sets that programme up for UK organisations. UK GDPR appears here in general terms: storage, security and accountability themes that the template maps — not a claim that a completed assessment equals compliance. Product reference: Microsoft’s Compliance Manager documentation.
Which templates you will run — typically a small set you can maintain, including UK GDPR where it is relevant — not every regulation in the gallery.
Owners, status, and a realistic sequence. Many actions are Purview configuration; some are process. We say which is which.
What you will attach, who can attest, and what you will not fake.
Where an action points at DLP, labels, retention or audit, we connect it to the live workstream rather than leaving a dangling tick.
How often the score is read, and who is allowed to mark an action complete.

Licences, existing assessments, and whether anyone already owns the score.
A short list you will actually maintain.
Which are configuration, which are process, who owns each.
Purview work those actions require, in the same engagement or a linked workstream.
How the programme is reviewed without becoming a neglected dashboard.
No. A score reflects improvement actions Microsoft has mapped for a template. It is a management tool, not a certificate and not a legal opinion that you meet UK GDPR.
We help you choose assessments, interpret actions, and implement the Purview and process work those actions describe. Evidence still has to be yours. We do not tick a template and call the organisation compliant.
No. Compliance Manager can support an accountability programme. It does not replace a DPO, a DPIA, or advice on your facts.
A scoping conversation about what you need to protect, what is already configured, and what must not break.
