Retention policies can be applied in a variety of manners depending on the retention and deletion needs of an organization. How do we change the retention policy in Microsoft 365?

This practice, however, does little to absolve organizations from their data protection obligations. While each service comes with a default, retention policies can be customized by administrators and are often used by organizations to manage and govern their data by establishing a preferred schedule of retaining and deleting content. Microsoft 365 retention policies and capabilities are varied across its numerous services and tend to change with some frequency.

What is the retention policy in Microsoft 365?

While it is possible to recover lost data via Microsoft 365’s backups, the process will often prove tedious, costly, and detrimental to business continuity. However, your organization remains ultimately responsible for your data protection as these backups are not available to administrators or end users and are not intended for aiding in the quick and easy restoration of lost data. Microsoft 365 backs up data on a regular basis as part of a commitment to data protection activities that generally support disaster recovery situations and keep your data accessible in accordance to their uptime SLA (99.9%).
