Microsoft 365 Archive is coming to retention policies: compliance up, availability down

This autumn, a Purview retention policy will be able to move SharePoint files into the cold tier (roadmap 561208: preview in September, GA in October). Microsoft promises cost, compliance and search; its own documentation adds that archived content is "no longer directly accessible to anyone" and lists the apps that break: Word and PowerPoint online, the mobile apps, the macOS sync client and Office builds not updated since March. A reactivated file cannot be archived again for 120 days.

The directory holds more records than the company has employees

McDonald's reports just over 150,000 employees in its annual filing. The batch of its corporate directory put up for sale this week holds 1.7 million records. We placed the leaked counts next to the declared headcounts of seven companies, and the result is not a story about carelessness: it is about what a Microsoft Entra ID directory actually contains, who can read all of it with any ordinary password, and why the switch that closes it is one the vendor itself advises against touching.

Three settings decide whether Claude processes your documents in Copilot, and one was decided by your tenant's creation date

Microsoft turned Anthropic models on by default in Microsoft 365 Copilot, but not in the EU. There are three separate settings with three different defaults, one of them depends on whether the tenant was created before or after 25 March 2026, and Microsoft's own documentation sends you to the Message Center to find out yours. What each source says, what cannot be inferred from them, and the twenty-minute review.

Cross-tenant recall: Exchange Online lets another company delete mail from your mailboxes

In mid-August Microsoft starts rolling out cross-tenant message recall in Exchange Online (MC1423106). It ships switched off, and you do not turn it on to recover your own emails: you turn it on so senders in another tenant can delete messages already delivered to your people's mailboxes. What cloud recall does today (hard delete, read messages included, retrying for up to 24 hours), why the allow list looks far too much like the list of domains invoice fraud uses, what actually protects you (retention, not the checkbox), and the logging gap almost nobody has read.

El AI Act ya aplica desde el 2 de agosto de 2026: qué obligaciones entraron de verdad, qué aplazó el Ómnibus digital sobre IA y el checklist de inventario de everyWAN

The AI Act already applies to you — and not for the reason the headlines gave

On 2 August the bulk of the EU AI Act became applicable. Six days earlier, the Digital Omnibus on AI (Regulation EU 2026/1744, in force since 27 July) pushed high-risk obligations to December 2027 and August 2028. What does apply from 2 August is Article 50 — transparency — with fines of up to €15M or 3% (the lower amount for SMEs) and a date almost nobody wrote down: 2 December 2026. What actually changed, where Article 25 really bites, and the inventory checklist we run on a Microsoft 365 tenant.

La nueva retención por último acceso de Microsoft Purview borra ficheros de SharePoint y OneDrive y deja 93 días de papelera como único margen

What nobody opens gets deleted: Purview, last accessed, and the 93 days to notice

By mid-August 2026 Microsoft finishes rolling out a Purview retention rule that deletes SharePoint and OneDrive files nobody has opened for a given period, justified on the grounds that Copilot will answer better. It deletes nothing on its own: somebody has to configure it. But it is the first deletion trigger that measures not a property of the document but the absence of human activity, and the file nobody opens in three years may well be the one you need in year four. What is actually shipping, the 93 recycle-bin days that are your only margin, why version history will not save you, and what we would do before touching that button.

NIS2 en España: la ley sin publicar y el cuestionario de proveedor que ya está en tu correo

NIS2 in Spain: the law is not here yet, your customer's questionnaire is

As of 29 July 2026 the Spanish law transposing NIS2 still has not been published in the official gazette: the text was approved by the Council of Ministers in January 2025 at first reading and is still a draft bill, and on 8 July the European Commission decided to refer Spain to the Court of Justice of the EU asking for penalties. That does not mean NIS2 is not affecting you: it means it will not arrive via an inspector, but via your largest customer's procurement department. What already applies today with no transposition needed, what those supplier questionnaires really ask, and what we would do with ninety days ahead of us.
