About Imran

Creator of PurLayer

I am a technology professional with over 12 years of experience delivering secure and scalable solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem. My focus is security engineering, digital transformation, AI governance and enterprise-scale delivery in environments where data protection and compliance are critical.

In recent years my work has centred on Microsoft Purview, leading the engineering and implementation of information protection and data governance across Microsoft 365. I translate regulatory and risk requirements into practical, production-ready controls that organisations can operate and sustain.

PurLayer was built from that hands-on experience. I saw repeatedly that teams lacked a structured way to plan and validate governance strategy before configuring their tenant. I built PurLayer to solve that problem and to help organisations approach Purview implementation with greater clarity and confidence.
