Overview

This section groups everything about keeping Business Central data safe and meeting regulatory needs. It has three subtopics: Security, Service overview, and Auditing. Two pages sit at the top level: a Compliance Overview index and a Privacy FAQ.

Security covers online tenant security, multifactor authentication, encryption, network restrictions with service tags, record-level security filters, and persona-based guidance for online and on-premises deployments. Service overview explains the Azure-based multitenant architecture, availability and backup, service operations, incident handling, and scalability. Auditing covers tracking data changes, auditing security-related tables, and reviewing events sent to Microsoft Purview.

Start with the Compliance Overview for an index of compliance topics such as certifications and regulatory requirements. Use the Privacy FAQ for links on personal data, regional availability, and data residency. Go to the subtopics for the technical detail.
