Understanding Your Role in Microsoft Office 365 Shared Responsibility Model

In a traditional on-premises data center, the organization that owns it is responsible for managing security incidents, including the mitigation and remediation of any dangerous incident. On the other hand, if the company uses Infrastructure-as-a-Service offerings (Azure, AWS), security for infrastructure is the cloud provider’s responsibility. In the Software-as-a-Service model, specifically in the Microsoft 365 suite, Microsoft is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure and making sure data is available and accessible while users are responsible for protecting their Microsoft 365 data. It means the user is responsible for restoring lost, stolen, deleted, or compromised data and it should be quite logical and obvious. In the end, it’s the user’s data, right?

Regardless of the cloud deployment types, the customer retains ownership of their data and identities and is responsible for their security, while the cloud service providers manage other operational aspects. This framework helps clarify the shared responsibilities involved in using cloud services. Understanding the Microsoft 365 Shared Responsibility Model is particularly important as it outlines the division of responsibilities between Microsoft and businesses regarding data protection and security.
