Microsoft 365 is a platform, not the whole continuity plan
Microsoft 365 service incidents can affect email, identity, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, administration, security portals, Copilot, and connected workflows. Business continuity requires knowing what work can continue and how decisions will be communicated when a cloud dependency is degraded.
