The Microsoft 365 office package cannot be used by companies, public authorities and schools in a legally compliant manner, at least not without additional tech

The Microsoft 365 office package cannot be used by companies, public authorities and schools in a legally compliant manner, at least not without additional technical measures. This is the conclusion of a current data protection assessment adopted by the independent federal and state data protection supervisory authorities at their 104th data protection conference. Users must take additional protective measures in any case, warns Federal Data Protection Commissioner Ulrich Kelber. (…) The corrections are not enough for the data protection authorities. Microsoft has made "progress on individual points," Kelber acknowledges. However, the revised documents do not provide the necessary transparency as to which data can be used by the company "for its own purposes". The controllers are still unable to assess "in some places" what information and diagnostic values are still being collected and transferred to Microsoft. This also makes it impossible to check "whether all steps are lawful". https://www.heise.de/news/Datenschutzkonferenz-Microsoft-365-ist-und-bleibt-datenschutzwidrig-7352065.html https://www.heise.de/news/Datenschutzkonferenz-Microsoft-365...
