Compliance and risk management is often a board- or CEO-level issue. The risks of hefty fines and bad PR from non-compliance are severe. IT is usually responsible for implementing compliance controls and for working with compliance and legal officers to manage the day-to-day risk in an organization.

After reading Office 365 Compliance, you will be prepared to have a well-informed conversation with your compliance and legal officers to determine how to work together to identify specific compliance requirements for your organization and the tools you will need. You will be able to implement those requirements yourself using Office 365 features.

Author Erica Toelle helps you build a solid compliance foundation by teaching you about topics including retention, data residency, defensible content disposal, auditing, compliance with standard regulations, managing insider risks, monitoring and reporting, complying with data subjects and freedom of information requests, and eDiscovery.
