Enrique G.
Last position:
Security Architect at Capgemini
I implemented a Zero-Trust architecture for robust, military-grade maritime container mini data centers based on VMware & Tanzu to support containerized GIS workloads for ground forces. The main focus was on securing communications, workload protection, and data access in contested electronic battle environments affected by jamming, interception, signal manipulation, and constantly changing operational conditions. I designed and architected use cases so that every element of workload, identity, and system could continue to operate independently and securely even in degraded or disrupted scenarios. In parallel, I defined the enterprise and solution security architecture with LeanIX, Bizzdesign, and HOPEX as enterprise architecture, repository, and governance platforms to maintain architecture inventory, relationships, traceability, target pictures, and security governance in complex environments. For the architectural designs, I used Sparx Enterprise Architect to describe formal architecture views, interfaces, trust boundaries, and system architecture in both IT and OT environments. IriusRisk was used for threat modeling of the solution to identify architecture-driven risks, derive security requirements, and detect countermeasures and design gaps directly from the solution models. Risk and compliance management was supported with Archer. Architecture decisions, control gaps, and operational risks were translated into controlled governance and auditable compliance measures. For documentation, collaboration, and visual design, I used Confluence to maintain Architecture Decision Records, Security Blueprints, and workflows. I used Lucidchart and draw.io to create design artifacts tailored to stakeholders. I also defined OT security concepts with support from electrical and mechanical engineers in the areas of oil, vehicle onboard systems, rail, power plants, pharma, gas turbines, and nuclear technology. I created the end-to-end OT security strategy, starting with global policy, developed into standards and procedures, and finally aligned with Bell-LaPadula, Purdue Model, SABSA, TOGAF ADM, CENELEC 50701, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. In addition, I worked with engineering team leads to identify critical KBP assets and place them under protective measures that segmented SCADA, PLC, and HMI assets. I drove collaboration between Security, IT, and OT teams to create standardized workflows and use cases for the OT security solution catalog, while integrating Defense-in-Depth and Zero-Trust principles into operational environments. A key part of my work was integrating multidisciplinary engineering, security, and operations stakeholders into a unified security blueprinting strategy and ensuring that architecture, threat modeling, governance, and documentation were technically strong and operationally practical.

About the technology
Data governance scope
Microsoft Purview is Microsoft’s unified family of data governance, security and compliance capabilities. It helps organizations discover, classify, protect and manage data across Microsoft 365, Azure, on-premises systems and external sources. Companies use it to create a clear view of sensitive information and its lifecycle.
Core capabilities
Purview connects data cataloging with compliance controls, so teams can move from discovery to practical protection. Its capabilities include Microsoft Purview Data Map, Data Catalog, Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, Records Management, Audit and eDiscovery. Strong implementations align these features with business ownership and risk policies.
Ecosystem and skills
Experts work across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Defender and PowerShell. They understand sensitivity labels, retention labels, auto-labeling, insider risk, DLP policies, collections, role-based access and governance domains. Experience with APIs, connectors, Microsoft Graph and security operations helps when Purview must fit a wider cloud or hybrid architecture.
Where companies use it
Purview is relevant wherever data must be found, governed or defended across complex estates.
- Classify confidential, personal and regulated information
- Apply sensitivity and retention labels across Microsoft 365
- Monitor sharing, movement and risky data use
- Support audits, investigations and legal discovery
- Build governance for Azure and hybrid data sources
When freelance expertise helps
Companies often bring in freelance specialists during a governance rollout, tenant consolidation or compliance program. External expertise can also help when policies have become inconsistent, discovery coverage is incomplete or internal teams need a practical operating model. In Germany, remote delivery can work well when workshops, documentation and stakeholder decisions are planned clearly; on-site sessions may help with regulated or decentralized organizations.
What strong specialists deliver
A capable Purview professional starts with data flows, regulatory obligations and ownership rather than switching on every available feature. They define a manageable label and retention structure, test policies safely and document exceptions. They also explain trade-offs to security, legal, records and business teams, then establish monitoring and continuous improvement. For German organizations, awareness of local language expectations and European data protection requirements adds practical value without replacing legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Microsoft Purview.
Microsoft Purview helps organizations discover, classify, protect and govern data across Microsoft 365, Azure, on-premises systems and connected sources. Companies use it for sensitivity labeling, data loss prevention, retention, audit, eDiscovery and broader data governance.
Microsoft Purview combines governance, information protection and compliance capabilities within the Microsoft ecosystem. It can reduce integration work for organizations already using Microsoft 365 and Azure, while specialist data catalogs or security tools may offer deeper functionality in a narrower area or broader vendor coverage.
A strong Microsoft Purview specialist should understand Microsoft 365 administration, Azure, Entra ID, Defender, PowerShell and identity-based access control. Knowledge of privacy operations, records management, security monitoring, Microsoft Graph and hybrid data estates is also valuable.
The required depth depends on the scope. A labeling pilot needs different skills from a company-wide governance program covering hybrid sources, retention, DLP, eDiscovery and operating processes. Ask for evidence of comparable Purview work, clear policy design and safe rollout methods rather than relying only on product familiarity.
Microsoft Purview projects can often be delivered remotely through structured workshops, tenant access controls, documentation and regular testing. On-site collaboration may be useful for stakeholder alignment, sensitive environments or organizations with distributed ownership, while German-language communication can matter for user training and policy adoption.
Before changing Microsoft Purview settings, the specialist should map data sources, owners, business processes and regulatory requirements. They should also define test groups, exceptions, escalation paths and rollback procedures so labels, retention and DLP controls do not disrupt legitimate work.
Look for a specialist who can explain the difference between classification, protection, retention and discovery, then connect each control to a business need. Good professionals show structured documentation, measured policy testing, transparent assumptions and experience handling false positives, exceptions and user adoption.
Azure Purview was the former name commonly associated with Microsoft’s cloud data governance service. Microsoft now presents the broader product family as Microsoft Purview, so a freelancer should clarify whether a project concerns Data Map and Data Catalog, Microsoft 365 compliance capabilities or both.
