Frequently asked questions

What compliance teams usually ask

Who is SearchPilot for?

For Microsoft 365 information governance and compliance admins who know the platform but do not want to write KQL or click through wizards every time someone needs a file today.

Can what I find be used as evidence?

In Quick mode, the download is not recorded in a Purview case. When you need legal standing, switch to Formal mode and the search becomes an eDiscovery case with chain of custody.

What gets logged?

Who signed in, what they searched, reviewed, downloaded, or deleted, when, and why. The audit log is per organization and exports to CSV.

How is access protected?

You sign in with Entra ID and MFA. Each organization is isolated and verified on every request, and secrets are stored in Azure Key Vault.

Can I undo a phishing purge?

Yes. Removal requires a reason and typed confirmation, and offers an option to undo.
