When tenants migrate data from on-premises archiving solutions to a hosted service, tenants should maintain just enough data for compliance purposes and dispose of data that is no longer needed to reduce overall liability and compliance risk exposure. Embodiments are directed to providing selective import of data to a hosted service through a security and compliance system associated with the hosted service to reduce overall liability and compliance risk exposure. Data, usage pattern and security/compliance policies associated with a tenant of the hosted service may be analyzed. A model for importing tenant data may be created based on the analysis. A suggestion may be presented to the tenant based on the model, where the suggestion includes a filter for importing tenant data. In response to receiving a confirmation to implement the suggestion, the filter may be applied to the tenant data as it is imported to the hosted service.

Filter suggestion for selective data import

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for creating compliance boundaries. In one example, compliance boundaries may be implemented via a compliance tool. Data associated with a tenant may be segregated using a plurality of layers defining one or more compliance boundaries. In response to an action initiated by a compliance administrator using the compliance tool for accessing the data, it may be determined which data is within the one or more compliance boundaries associated with the compliance administrator. Access to the data determined to be within the one or more compliance boundaries associated with the compliance administrator may be authorized.
