Editor's Notes

  • #10 So we just discussed actions we’ve taken, but at a higher level, what are the principles we stand by when considering how we manage customer data? These principles are: Security Privacy Transparency Compliance Many companies can state that these principles matter to them, however it’s important that we demonstrate how we apply these principles when it comes to customer data. In the next few slides we’ll double click on each of the principles…
  • #11 For Security, we will ensure that all of your data is secure. A few examples of how we apply security as a principle: We spend over $1B per year on cybersecurity resulting in various solutions around identity and access management, information and threat protection, and security management. Today, more than 3,500 full-time security professionals work to secure datacenters, run our Cyber Defense Operations Center, hack our own defenses, and hunt down attackers As a result of our analysis and other security efforts, we block more than 5 billion distinct malware threats per month. Just one recent example shows the power of the cloud. Microsoft’s cloud-based machine learning models detected a stealthy and highly targeted attack on small businesses across the U.S. with only 200 discrete targets called Ursnif and neutralized the threat. We surface this operational experience and the insights we derived in the security technology we build. More info here: https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2018/09/24/delivering-security-innovation-that-puts-microsofts-experience-to-work-for-you/
  • #12 When it comes to Privacy, we will ensure that your data is private and is under your control. Some examples of how we demonstrate that: GDPR is a Europe specific regulation, however we applied it globally which improved our data handling practices The 4 privacy lawsuits have been brought against the US government began in 2013 Why only since 2013? The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is the mechanism used by the National Security Agency (NSA) and other US government agencies to gather data about foreign internet users. Microsoft wanted to be allowed to tell the public when they received US government requests under FISA. The US government didn’t want them to. So we began litigation in 2013. Learn more here: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2013/aug/31/microsoft-google-sue-us-fisa Results of the litigations: The first lawsuit resulted in a good and appropriate settlement allowing us to disclose the number of legal requests we receive. The second resulted in the government withdrawing a National Security Letter after we challenged a non-disclosure order attached to the letter. The third, resulted in that Microsoft is not required to comply with a warrant for the users’ emails if the data is not stored within the U.S. More info here: https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/14/microsoft-wins-second-circuit-warrant/ The fourth suit resulted in the Department of Justice creating a new policy that limits the overused practice of requiring providers to stay silent when the government accesses personal data stored in the cloud More info here: https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2017/10/23/doj-acts-curb-overuse-secrecy-orders-now-congress-turn/ We build privacy into our services as part of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle In step 2 of a 7 step process in the development lifecycle: We define and integrate security and privacy requirements, enabling us to more easily identify key milestones and deliverables We define minimum acceptable levels of security and privacy quality at the start, enabling the team to understand risks associated with security issues, identify and fix security bugs during development, and apply the standards throughout the entire project We examine software design based on costs and regulatory requirements, enabling a team to identify which portions of a project will require threat modeling and security design reviews before release and determine the Privacy Impact Rating of a feature, product, or service.

  • #13 We will be transparent about the collection and uses of data. Examples of how we apply this principle are: We provide geographic locations where customer data is stored. This can be found on the Trust Center (Microsoft.com/trust) Top right image. We publish the number of legal demands for customer data that we receive from law enforcement agencies. This can be found via the Trust Center which will lead you to our Law Enforcement Requests Report. We provide visibility into what we do with customer data, how we protect it, and how they are in control. This can be found on Service Trust Portal. (servicetrust.Microsoft.com) Bottom right image. We put major investment in documentation and tools related to GDPR compliance for our customers to increase transparency and make it easier for customers to understand our technologies and how they relate to GDPR requirements. These tools and documentation include: Audit reports Commitments to ISO 27001 standards Detail on how to manage data subject and portability requests related to Microsoft technologies Information to support customers in preparing DPIAs related to their use of Microsoft technologies Compliance Manager, which helps customers to track their compliance with regulatory requirements related to data privacy and security. Penetration testing reports and other detailed security documentation
  • #14 When it comes to compliance, we will manage your data in accordance with the law of the land (i.e. your region). To help you comply with national, regional and industry-specific requirements governing the collection and use of individual's data, Microsoft offers the most comprehensive set of compliance offerings of any cloud service provider. Detailed information about each of these can be found on our trust center under Compliance/complianceofferings. A sampling of these offerings is on the right of this slide. We committed to sharing our experiences in complying with complex regulations. An example of our commitment to sharing our experience in complying with regulations is that we have a webinar coming up in January 2019 where we’ll discuss some of our learnings from this compliance journey and how customers can benefit from our learnings and solutions. As we’ve discussed before, we’ve made several resources available to customers so they can validate our commitments. While there are companies that specialize in specific aspects of the principles we outlined, we have several solutions and resources that span all four principles, which is our differentiator. We are committed to applying all of these principles in everything we do, especially when it comes to managing customer data. So, protecting your data is our top priority, which means securing your data, giving you the controls to determine what your data can be used for, and giving you visibility into our third-party validated certifications and processes that back our commitments. We not only hold ourselves accountable to these principles internally, we translate them into benefits for our customers to help empower them to achieve more.
  • #15 We wanted to provide customers with some visibility into what we went through as part of our commitment to GDPR compliance as well, so they can better understand how this translates into their benefit: We trained our people: We expanded our corporate privacy training significantly to help educate our employees, partners, suppliers, and vendors about upcoming privacy requirements affecting their roles, and how we would approach compliance. Led to investments in: Internal webinars, workshops, online training courses, and reference materials Train-the-trainer programs Abbreviated technical and privacy documentation for our customers, detailing our compliance with GDPR, and guides to help enable secure and compliant use of our products and services We enhanced our privacy practices: We drove accountability to these regulations through a centralized privacy team that included legal, privacy, engineering, compliance professionals We invested in new technology. We put major investment in documentation and tools related to GDPR compliance for our customers to increase transparency and make it easier for customers to understand our technologies and how they relate to GDPR requirements. These processes, tools, and documentation include: creating connections between systems that use personal data to help us manage them more efficiently; updated the code of our internal IT, consumer, and commercial products and services with compliance controls to enable our teams to meet compliance obligations. Audit reports validated by 3rd parties Commitments to ISO 27001 standards Detail on how to manage data subject and portability requests related to Microsoft technologies Information to support customers in preparing DPIAs related to their use of Microsoft technologies Compliance Manager, which helps customers to track their compliance with regulatory requirements related to data privacy and security. Penetration testing reports and other detailed security documentation Regulatory response documentation Important to land how this benefits the customer: As a result of our vast experience (connects to the quote from Brendon on bottom right) and internal efforts to comply with several regional and global standards and regulations, our customers can benefit from: solutions built (i.e. Compliance Manager, eDiscovery, etc.) our ability to scale to meet the ever changing regulation needs of customers (we’ve complied with global regulations and are often one of the first companies to be compliant with new regulations) our ability to partner with you to “future proof” your business against changing regulations (i.e. upcoming California Consumer Privacy Act that is effective in 2020). Regulation needs change daily, as you’ll see in later slides, so it’s important that a trusted partner has the experience and scale to help manage those changes. We are committed to empowering every person and organization on the planet to achieve more.
