Microsoft documents Information Barriers (IB) as a Microsoft Purview capability that “restricts communication and collaboration between specific groups of users” across Microsoft 365. The service coverage explicitly includes “Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange Online.” In Exchange Online, IB policies “block communication” between segmented users, which includes sending or receiving email and related collaboration, thereby meeting the statement about restricting communication in Exchange.

With IB v2, Microsoft states that policies also apply to SharePoint and OneDrive so that users in different segments are “prevented from accessing sites and content” not permitted by policy. This means a SharePoint Online site can be segmented so that members outside the allowed segments are denied access, satisfying the second statement.

For Microsoft Teams, IB policies “restrict collaboration scenarios such as chats, channel conversations, and file sharing” when participants are in segments that shouldn’t interact. Because Teams file sharing is backed by SharePoint/OneDrive, IB v2 enforcement “prevents sharing and accessing files across restricted segments.” In effect, a user cannot share a file with another user in Teams if an IB policy disallows interaction between their segments.

These behaviors align with SCI guidance that IB policies are designed to reduce conflict-of-interest risk by controlling who can communicate, collaborate, or access content across Microsoft 365 workloads.

 Compliance Manager tracks only customer-managed controls. No

 Compliance Manager provides predefined templates for creating assessments. Yes

 Compliance Manager can help you assess whether data adheres to specific data protection standards. No

Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is described as a feature that “helps you manage your organization’s compliance requirements” by giving you assessments, improvement actions, and a compliance score that “measures your progress in completing recommended actions” aligned to regulations and standards. The service does not track only customer-managed controls; Microsoft’s documentation clarifies that Compliance Manager includes “Microsoft-managed controls and customer-managed controls,” and it tracks both within each assessment to show overall posture. It also provides prebuilt (predefined) assessment templates for common regulations and industry standards so organizations can “create assessments from templates” such as GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and the Data Protection Baseline.

Importantly, Compliance Manager evaluates control implementation and improvement actions mapped to requirements; it does not scan or classify individual data to determine whether specific data items “adhere” to a standard. Instead, it helps you assess organizational compliance posture by tracking the status of controls, assigning actions, and recording evidence. Thus:

“Tracks only customer-managed controls” → No (it tracks Microsoft-managed and customer-managed).

“Provides predefined templates for creating assessments” → Yes (prebuilt templates are a core feature).

“Helps you assess whether data adheres to specific data protection standards” → No (it measures control/compliance posture, not data-level adherence).

Box 1: No

Compliance Manager tracks Microsoft managed controls, customer-managed controls, and shared controls. Box 2: Yes

Microsoft states that Communication Compliance is administered in Microsoft Purview, not the Microsoft 365 admin center. The Learn article shows configuration and policy templates “in the Microsoft Purview portal” and directs admins to “configure Communication Compliance” there, confirming the management plane is the Purview compliance portal, not the M365 admin center.

Regarding supported locations, Microsoft lists the communication channels that policies can inspect: “Microsoft Teams… Exchange Online… Viva Engage… [and] Third-party sources.” SharePoint Online is not listed among supported channels, so SharePoint content isn’t monitored by Communication Compliance policies.

Finally, Communication Compliance includes built-in workflows to address findings. The Learn page explicitly provides a Remediate step: “Remediate Communication Compliance issues you investigate by using the following options:” such as “Notify the user” and “Escalate to another reviewer.” These actions demonstrate that the solution does more than detect; it supports remediation within the Purview portal workflow.

Exact extracts (selected):

“You can choose from the following policy templates in the Microsoft Purview portal.”

“Communication Compliance policies check… Microsoft Teams… Exchange Online… Viva Engage… Third-party sources.”

“Remediate Communication Compliance issues you investigate by using the following options: Notify the user… Escalate to another reviewer.”
