Microsoft Compliance Manager: Assessing and Demonstrating Regulatory Compliance in Australia

Microsoft Compliance Manager, part of Microsoft Purview, helps AU mid-market organisations assess, remediate, and track compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards.

Last reviewed 23 May 2026

What Compliance Manager does

Compliance Manager provides a centralised platform for evaluating an organisation’s compliance posture. It offers pre-built assessment templates aligned with common frameworks and regulations. These assessments generate a Compliance Score, indicating overall compliance health. Improvement actions are automatically suggested based on assessment results, guiding remediation efforts and reducing the manual burden of compliance management. The platform integrates with other Microsoft security tools for streamlined data collection.

For AU mid-market organisations, Compliance Manager offers templates mapping to APRA CPS 234 (Information Security) and CPS 230 (Operational Resilience), demonstrating a commitment to financial sector security requirements. It also includes mappings to the Privacy Act 2024 and the ACSC Essential Eight, facilitating adherence to these critical obligations. The workflow focuses on practical evidence collection; users can upload documentation and link it to specific controls, ensuring a clear audit trail and supporting a robust defence against potential data breaches under the Notifiable Data Breach scheme.
