-
Microsoft's datacentre is designed to be resilient/align with the UK Government's 2nd Cloud Security Principle "Asset Protection and Resilience".
* Redundant Architecture: Microsoft online services achieve service resilience through redundant architecture, which involves deploying multiple instances of a service on geographically and physically separate hardware. This provides increased fault-tolerance for Microsoft online services.
* Data Replication and Automated Integrity Checking: Data replication and automated integrity checking are also part of Microsoft's strategy to ensure service resilience.
* Compliance with UK G-Cloud: Every year, Microsoft prepares documentation and submits evidence to attest that its in-scope enterprise cloud services comply with the 14 Cloud Security Principles of G-Cloud. This gives potential G-Cloud customers an overview of its risk environment.
* ISO/IEC 27001 Certification: The compliance process relies on the ISO/IEC 27001 certification. A Government Digital Service (GDS) accreditor then performs several random checks on the Microsoft assertion statement, samples the evidence, and makes a determination of compliance.
* UK OFFICIAL Data: The appointment of Microsoft services to the Digital Marketplace means that UK government agencies and partners can use in-scope services to store and process UK OFFICIAL government data.

-
Microsoft provides several ways to report service outages for BizApps and Azure Cloud:
*Public Dashboard:
*API: Microsoft offers the Service Communications API in Microsoft Graph
*Email Alerts:
In addition to the public dashboard, API, and email alerts, Microsoft provides a few more methods for service outage notifications:
*Mobile Push Notifications: For urgent issues, Microsoft recommends configuring Service Health alerts to send mobile push notifications through the Azure mobile app.
*IT Service Management Tools: Many customers already have ticketing systems and IT service management (ITSM) tools in place.
*Power BI Notifications: Power BI provides incident notification so you can optionally receive emails if there's a service disruption or degradation.

You can implement multifactor authentication and control device access based on group, team, or site sensitivity, as well as use sensitivity labels to protect content in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 groups, and SharePoint sites.
Sensitivity labels enable you to protect content in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 groups, and SharePoint sites. You can block access entirely from unmanaged devices or allow limited, web-only access. SharePoint, can restrict access to sites from specified network locations. - Access restriction testing frequency

Microsoft's approach to security governance is multi-faceted and includes several key components:
*Microsoft Power Platform: Microsoft Power Platform plays a crucial role in security and governance. It helps secure and govern apps like Power Automate and Power Apps. The platform allows administrators to create simple environment and tenant-wide Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. It also provides tools like the Microsoft Power Platform Centre of Excellence (COE) toolkit.
*Data Loss Prevention Policies: These policies are used to prevent data leakage and ensure data security.
*Security Design Considerations: Microsoft provides best practices for security design considerations.
*Governance Model: Microsoft provides guidance on defining the governance model between citizen developers and managed IT services, as well as between central IT and the business unit admins.
*Monitoring: Microsoft provides tools for capturing compliance/auditing data and measuring adoption and usage within an organization.
*App Governance in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps: This provides visibility, remediation, and governance into how apps and their users access, use, and share sensitive data in Microsoft 365 and other cloud platforms.

-
Modern Work enforces change management procedures for both code and non-code changes to maintain its security posture. Detailed change management processes are enforced to maintain system integrity.
Service teams utilize ticketing or source control tools to document evidence of approval and track all changes. Changes are deployed through Microsoft’s Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL), which includes specific security considerations related to code reviews, tests, and approvals before systematically releasing code into the Modern Work environment. Critical security review and approval checkpoints are part of the SDL.
