Microsoft Boosts EU Data Control

January 12, 2024
Reading Time: 3 mins read
in News

Microsoft has announced a phased roll-out plan, allowing its European Union cloud customers to process and store all personal data within the region, in compliance with EU privacy and security legislation. This move follows the industry trend of technology companies expanding data storage and processing capabilities in the EU. The expansion by Microsoft includes not only the processing of certain data in the EU but also incorporates system-generated logs, addressing challenges faced by large companies with widely distributed data in ensuring compliance with privacy rules.

As part of the next phase later this year, Microsoft plans to focus on storing temporary data transfers needed for technical support interactions. Chief Privacy Officer Julie Brill emphasized the company’s commitment to privacy and announced a paid support option that offers initial technical responses from within the EU. These developments reflect Microsoft’s proactive approach to meeting evolving data privacy requirements and providing enhanced control and support options for its EU cloud customers. The decision to allow processing and storage of personal data within the EU is seen as a response to the increasing importance of data privacy and the need for companies to comply with stringent regulations in the region.

The technology industry has witnessed a shift towards reinforcing data control measures, especially in the wake of privacy and security legislation. Amazon Web Services (AWS) had previously announced a similar move in October, allowing data storage on servers located in the EU. With data storage becoming increasingly complex and distributed across multiple countries, this initiative by Microsoft and other tech companies aims to address the challenges faced by large enterprises in understanding and ensuring compliance with privacy rules regarding the location of their data.
