Since the enactment of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we’re seeing two fundamental changes in the world that require organizations to think about privacy. First, GDPR started a global wave of countries and regions implementing their own privacy laws— starting with California, Brazil, and more to follow. Second, we’ve seen a shift in consumer attitude towards privacy and protecting personal data. For example, according to a recent survey published by Forrester, 43 percent of U.S. consumers are likely to cancel an online transaction if they read something in the privacy policy that they don’t like. Simplify compliance and privacy management with the new specialized work-space For compliance professionals, who need to protect and manage their organization’s data privacy risk, we’re announcing a dedicated work-space called the  Microsoft 365  compliance center.

When enabled by an organization that has deployed Office 365,  Microsoft Flow   provides end-users with the ability to create automated workflows between applications and many different services using connectors. Microsoft applications and an ever-growing list of third-party services are available to link together. Microsoft Flow lets  employees  create simple to more complex workflows that can provide efficiencies for businesses around their workflow needs. It's an end-user option, that in most cases does not require a developer for workflows. In this blog post I’ll show how you can use a simple Microsoft Flow to connect a Microsoft Form that captures data and then populate the information collected into a SharePoint List. The SharePoint list in my example is a list that is part of an  Office 365 Group . If you’re not familiar with  Microsoft Forms , it’s a very easy to use application that is included with your Office 365 subscription. If enabled in your organization, you ca

It’s been another busy couple of weeks in the Message Centre and on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap. First up, two items that were added to the roadmap on Friday and are already rolling out, possibly even launched by the time you read this (and depending upon your Office 365 ProPlus release channel and build number). Saving documents to the Cloud just got easier New capabilities have been announced that makes it easier to create and save Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents directly to the cloud. A new dialog box will default to OneDrive or SharePoint Online allowing end users to quickly save documents in their preferred location. Exciting stuff. For the forgetful among us, if you overlook saving a new document before exiting, you will also see this updated save experience. Microsoft have said that this should begin to start rolling out in early February with a view of full rollout by the middle of 2019.  Flow generates tenant-shareable links Next, we move on to so
