Microsoft has successfully implemented its E.U. Data Boundary, allowing customers to store and process data within the E.U. and European Free Trade Association. Initially launched in January 2023, the scope has expanded over two years to cover various data types, including pseudonymized personal data. While rare scenarios may require data to be transferred outside this boundary, Microsoft promises stringent security measures. The initiative aims to address regulatory scrutiny over user data handling and reaffirm its commitment to privacy and customer control in cloud services.
The EU Data Boundary reflects Microsoft's commitment to delivering unmatched cloud services that support European transparency, protect privacy, and enhance customer control.
Microsoft emphasizes that any transfers outside the E.U. Data Boundary would be carried out with robust security measures, including encryption and strict access controls.
