Gain control of the costs related to the data on your organizations' storage resources. Cloud Compliance identifies the amount of stale data, non-business data, and very large files in your systems so you can decide whether you want to remove or tier some files to less expensive object storage.
Additionally, if you are planning to migrate data from on-premises locations to the cloud, you can view the size of the data and whether any of the data contains sensitive information prior to moving it.
The Governance dashboard provides information so that you can increase the efficiency and control the costs related to the data stored on your storage resources.
You may want to investigate the items in the Yearly Saving Opportunities area to see if there is any data you should delete or tier to less expensive object storage. Click each item to view the results in the Investigation page.
The Savings amount is an estimate of the savings you could realize by deleting, moving, or tiering data based on $0.30 per GB per year.

This area provides a list of the most identified Categories, File types, and AIP Labels in your scanned data.
Categories can help you understand what’s happening with your data by showing you the types of information that you have. For example, a category like resumes or employee contracts can include sensitive data. When you investigate the results, you might find that employee contracts are stored in an insecure location. You can then correct that issue.
See Viewing files by categories for more information.
Reviewing your file types can help you control your sensitive data because you might find that certain file types are not stored correctly.
See Viewing file types for more information.
If you have subscribed to Azure Information Protection (AIP), you can classify and protect documents and files by applying labels to content. Reviewing the most used AIP labels that are assigned to files enables you to see which labels are most used in your files.
See AIP Labels for more information.
