Introduction
Imagine that you're the lead system engineer and server administrator at Contoso, Ltd., a medium-size financial services company based in Zurich with a branch office in Los Angeles. Most of Contoso's compute environment runs on-premises on Windows Server, and its cloud services are under evaluation.
Contoso has an outdated operational model that uses limited automation and relies on older technology. The Contoso IT Engineering team is exploring the capabilities of Azure and the Microsoft 365 platform to provide automation and virtualization, thereby modernizing its current operational model.
Contoso is also considering using Microsoft 365 productivity services instead of locally deployed services for email, intranet, and storage. You need to evaluate the data privacy, data protection, and compliance capabilities of Azure and the Microsoft 365 platform. You must decide whether these services sufficiently address Contoso's legal concerns and compliance requirements.
In this module, you learn about key data protection and privacy terms, concepts, laws, and regulations. You learn how Microsoft online services and tools classify customer data, support data protection and privacy, and help ensure regulatory compliance.
