Microsoft Purview governs data across Microsoft 365 and Copilot. Privaro is a provider-agnostic runtime layer that protects prompts and responses across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Azure OpenAI.
Choose Microsoft Purview if you're governing data inside the Microsoft 365 / Copilot ecosystem. Choose Privaro if you need a provider-agnostic runtime layer across any LLM, with reversible tokenization and blockchain-certified audit.
Runtime AI governance proxy. Intercepts prompts and responses before sensitive data reaches any supported LLM, applies policy, tokenizes data reversibly and records audit-ready evidence.
Microsoft 365 data governance suite. Classifies and protects information across SharePoint, Teams, Exchange and Copilot within the Microsoft ecosystem.
| Feature | Privaro | Microsoft Purview |
|---|---|---|
| Primary product | Provider-agnostic runtime AI governance | Microsoft 365 data governance suite |

| Reversible tokenization | Built-in, controlled token vault | Not included for runtime LLM prompts |
| Policy engine | Role-, organization-, data- and provider-scoped | Microsoft 365 information protection and DLP policies |
| Audit trail for the EU AI Act | LLM interaction evidence + blockchain certification | General data governance and compliance logs |
| Multi-provider proxy | OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Azure OpenAI | Not included outside the Microsoft ecosystem |
| MCP server for AI agents | Included | Not included |
| Deployment | SaaS, self-hosted, hybrid | Microsoft cloud ecosystem |
| Time to production | Minutes with a drop-in proxy | Depends on Microsoft 365 configuration |
| Starting price | €150/mo | Licensed via M365 E5 / add-on |
Yes. They are complementary: Purview governs the Microsoft 365 data perimeter, while Privaro governs the runtime of any LLM outside that perimeter, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Azure OpenAI workflows.
Purview supports data classification, information protection and DLP controls. It does not by itself generate an interaction-level audit record showing what each LLM processed, which policies ran and how sensitive data was protected.
Privaro closes the runtime gap for AI traffic that does not pass through Microsoft Copilot. It adds inline detection, reversible tokenization, provider-agnostic routing and LLM-specific audit evidence without replacing your Microsoft 365 controls.
