Resiliency and Recoverability in Microsoft 365: What You Need to Know

Reading this information has taught me a lot about the importance of data protection in cloud solutions, specifically in Microsoft 365. I have learned that Microsoft 365 has built-in tools to manage data throughout its lifecycle and to recover data in case of any issues, without requiring complex integrations or expensive 3rd party software. Microsoft has several commitments outlined in the Data Resiliency Principles, and the Data Processing Addendum describes Microsoft's obligations in detail. Additionally, Microsoft 365 offers self-service data recovery through retention policies, allowing organizations to control how long data is preserved in their environment and when it is deleted.

However, I still have some questions regarding the specifics of data protection in Microsoft 365. For example, how does Microsoft ensure physical access to the data center is limited? How are retention policies customized for different user groups? And how exactly do the Files Restore feature and 14-day backup work in the event of ransomware or other types of failures? Overall, I am interested in learning more about the security measures and protocols in place to protect data in Microsoft 365, and how these measures can be optimized for different types of organizations and user groups.
