Lawyers are sounding the alarm about the increasing data responsibilities the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are placing on organizations. In light of the heavier burden, Microsoft announced it’s set to release new compliance and information governance tools to provide real-time filing and notifications regarding sensitive data at the end of the year. 

To be sure, Microsoft isn’t the only tech company providing information governance and compliance tools. Take for example FileTrail Inc.’s Governance Policy Suite and Epiq, which, like Microsoft, integrates its information governance solutions into Office 365.
