Information protection in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance Center provides teams with the following information protection solutions that can help you meet your legal, regulatory, and content security needs:
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Archive | Teams-related workloads must maintain immutable all content stored within them in compliance with the enterprise’s corporate policy, as outlined in any corporate policy that may apply. |
| Compliance content search | By using rich filtering capabilities, it is possible to search through any content stored in any workload. You will be able to export all content to a specific container for management and compliance, as well as litigation support. |
| eDiscovery | As well as a wide array of eDiscovery capabilities, we also offer a wide range of eDiscovery tools to help our customers streamline the eDiscovery process, which includes case management, preservation, search, analysis, and export, as well as a variety of tools to help them identify relevant information as quickly and as efficiently as possible. |
| Legal hold | A legal hold is put on the primary and archived messages when any team or individual is placed on a hold due to a litigation or in-place hold. Also, edits or deletions are not included in the hold. |
| Audit log search | We must be able to record every activity of the team and every business event so that the team can be searched and exports can be made. |
| Exchange online protection | Through Exchange Online Protection and Advanced Threat Protection for Microsoft 365, emails are filtered to ensure they are not spam, malware, malicious links, spoofing, or phishing attacks when they send to a channel. |
| Conditional access | The IT admin or corporate organization decides what devices are allowed access to Teams, and we ensure that those devices comply with the policies and security rules set by the IT admin or corporate organization. As part of this, Intune for iOS and Android will support MDM and MAM with support for MDM and MAM. |
