~2 Jahre hat eine Arbeitsgruppe der Konferenz der unabhängigen Datenschutz-Aufsichtsbehörden von Bund und Ländern (DSK) versucht, Nachbesserungen bei Microsoft 365 zu erreichen.

After two years of negotiations with Microsoft, the joint committee of the German federal data protection authority and 17 state regulators (DSK) published a devastating statement that essentially says that organizations currently cannot use MS365 in a lawful way under the GDPR.
@wchr That puts Germany on a data island, considering that there are no alternatives.
@Tribo @wchr no alternative to office? In which century do you live?
@Squig @Tribo @wchr Yep, LibreOffice is literally an alternative to MS Office. I use it to read stuff others send me. But it is 'a bad idea done right'. Compatibility limits what they can fix. For my own writing, LyX/LaTeX every time!

I think you got confused because Microsoft calls many things #Microsoft365.

It's more than just the office suite of installable products.

IMHO, an offline software suit shouldn't really be subject of GDPR because the data shouldn't go back to vendors.

So this is not about just Office and talking about alternatives to Office is just going down into the wrong rabbit hole.

I suspect when we talk about m365, we talk about mail, Azure, teams, OneDrive, defender etc and not the office suite as such. We are in a situation where it’s increasingly difficult to run stuff like mail on prem. This is something all European orgs wrestle with - and interpret GDPR in a number of ways. #m365 #law #gdpr
