Compliance Management
The Compliance Management category groups In-Place Discovery & Hold, Auditing, Data Loss Prevention, Retention Policies, Retention Tags and Journaling.
Here is what the In-Place Discovery & Hold interface looks like when clicking Add:
Auditing gives us a choice of reports. Quoting directly from the interface we have:
- Run a non-owner mailbox access report
- Run a litigation hold report
- Run an administrator role group report
- Export mailbox audit logs
- Export the administrator audit log

Selecting the Data Loss Prevention and clicking Add we get:
Here we get a list of templates. Each of these is designed to identify a specific class of sensitive information. For example the template 'Financial Data - US' is described as follows:

Final Tips
Today we started our Exchange Administrative Center tour. My goal is to cut the talk and let you see as much as possible of the new administrative interface.
The Exchange 2007/2010 configuration was structured to reflect the various server roles. Now that version 2013 did away with distinct server roles, the configuration is categorized by functionality. This is a lot more intuitive.
Today we looked at the first three configuration categories Recipients, Permissions and Compliance Management. Many of the configuration elements available in earlier Exchange versions are still there, but we also peeked at the interface of some of the new features being introduced in version 2013.
In the next part we will continue with our tour, readying ourselves for the new Exchange release.
