Microsoft Teams Data Retention

The growth in workplace collaboration tools only accelerated during the pandemic, which also increased business’ need to manage more communication channels and data. Like email, instant messaging channels can contain records that could be used for critical compliance, legal e-discovery, and other records management needs. From a governance standpoint, collaboration platforms represent an enormous store of loosely managed data sets. Having to identify governance related content while adhering to compliance mandates and regulation is challenging when attempting to manage multiple content types that are distributed beyond the organization’s boundaries and fragmented across cloud silos.
