Following its investigation, the EDPS has found that the European Commission (Commission) has infringed several key data protection rules when using Microsoft 365. In its decision, the EDPS imposes corrective measures on the Commission.

The EDPS has found that the Commission has infringed several provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the EU’s data protection law for EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (EUIs), including those on transfers of personal data outside the EU/European Economic Area (EEA).

    Our of curiosity, which specific MS product is the one you see as most valuable / hardest to do without for IT security?

    I can’t imagine it’s word or excel or anything document-centric. That’s what most people think of when they think of MS Office, but in this day and age there are plenty of totally servicable alternatives.

    You’ll be surprised. Company documents are usually all made in the shitty format that only really works in MS Office.

    And of course MSO doesn’t even provide .NET components so someone could create a converter tools using MSO, you have to work around it or use Libre Office’s soffice command, which provides limited support for proprietary MSO features. Don’t tell me that’s not on purpose.
