Information Governance, MRM Policies.
Information Governance policies from the SCC are the preferred recommendation from Microsoft now to immutably protect your M365 data and prevent deletion. Even if a user deletes something from Email or OneDrive, the content will be retained in another folder until such time the policy expires.
I think thats the point i was missing "Immutably". I was expecting to see either a) a new policy applied to a users mailbox (MRM) if they were assigned a policy from the Information Governance, Retention, since i was expecting to see a policy assigned there, then i was also expecting to see an expiration date/time.
So these IG/Retention Policies are more like "background" compliance policies instead of MRM 3.0, which also happen to apply to all office workloads.
Is that about right? if so is there a document that explains specifically that - i need to provide that to my boss which is why i am asking.
Thanks,
Robert
