TLS/SSL
Bitlocker AES
Azure RMS (IRM)
Office 365 Message
Encryption, S/MIME
Third party encryption
DC to DC Encryption
File level encryption at
rest
Advanced encryption
for email
Encrypts the tunnel to help prevent snooping/eavesdropping. All services make use of “perfect forwarding
secrecy” technology (next gen SSL).
Hashes the data on the hard drives in the datacenter so that if someone gets unauthorized access to the
machine they can't read it. All backend storage for Office 365 will also be included (SQL transaction logs,
Azure Blob storage)
Prevents sensitive information from being printed, forwarded, or copied by unauthorized people inside the
organization (single element encryption, BYOK - bring your own key included)
Provides cryptographic security services for electronic messaging applications: authentication, message
integrity, non-repudiation of origin, privacy and data security
Provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is often
used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, e-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions and to
increase the security of e-mail communications
All traffic send across private connections between MSFT datacenters is encrypted preventing physical
breaches of landline cabling
In addition to Bitlocker encryption we will add individual file level encryption mechanisms for Sharepoint
Online and Onedrive for Business
Encryption of Exchange databases to separate operating system and application incl. BYOK
