17 users to classify emails and documents as ‘sensitive’ so that customer data can be encrypted using customerprovided keys. Furthermore, Microsoft will only access customer data on Customer Lockbox for Microsoft 365, Azure, Power Platform and the upcoming Dynamics application when given explicit customer approval. Microsoft is working closely with partners such as Arvato, Capgemini, Minsait, Orange, SAP and Telefonica to ensure that it delivers functionalities to meet the unique sovereign requirements of governments around the world. For example, partners have helped to customise the solution’s Sovereign Landing Zone, which will allow customers to manage compliance settings with deployments that are automatable, customisable, repeatable and consistent. Users will also be able to make recommendations for any additional required settings. “The landing zone will span the Microsoft public cloud, with tools to maintain data residency, deploy sovereign controls, protect data classification and extend into hybrid deployments, creating a single solution for all application needs,” said Sanders. Microsoft has already released an initial private preview of Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty in select locations and will share further details on the product soon.
