The discussion covers the investments in the data center as well as customer control features available in the service to help customers manage risks. Read the blog and check out the video to hear the full conversation.

  • @Bharat Suneja - So the World found out about the NSA PRISM, and the NSA PRISM documentations showed everyone in the planet that Public Cloud servers / Office 365 servers have Backdoor Access and then MS saying No we are ok.
  • @Bharat Suneja - The statement you provided is that from Before the NSA PRISM revelations or After the NSA PRISM revelations?
  • @Bharat - That's not good enough. We need better assurances. We simply don't trust you. So, how can we get around this stalemate?
  • No question and answer about NSA PRISM Backdoor Access to the Office 365 servers ;-)
  • @Bill: See http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2013/jun13/06-06statement.aspx

    Statement of Microsoft Corporation on Customer Privacy. Microsoft has publicly stated the following:

    We provide customer data only when we receive a legally binding order or subpoena to do so, and never on a voluntary basis. In addition we only ever comply with orders for requests

    about specific accounts or identifiers. If the government has a broader voluntary national security program to gather customer data we don’t participate in it.

  • @Joe, @Jerry: I've pointed you to some of our ongoing communication from Brad Smith, General Counsel & Executive Vice President, Legal & Corporate Affairs at Microsoft. The communication answers questions similar to the ones raised here.

    It's not a discussion we can effectively have in blog comments, particularly if you've made up your minds.

  • @Jerry, please allow me to ask the same of you and any others. What assurances would those be? I'm asking entirely out of curiosity and not creating deliverables.
  • @Jerry: What specific assurances are you looking for?

    There's quite a bit of communication about this issue, including (but not limited to):

    • Responding to government legal demands for customer data
    • http://www.microsoft.com/eu/impact-on-society/article/protecting-customer-data-from-government-snooping.aspx
    • Providing additional transparency on US government requests for customer data
