Dynamics 365 Project Operations – Copy externally scheduled projects

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Project Operations now allows copying externally scheduled projects. This feature expands data duplication capabilities, increasing the potential for data sprawl and unauthorized information replication if not properly governed.

The Impact

Dynamics 365 users can now copy projects, increasing data duplication risks for security teams.

• Security teams: Increased risk of data sprawl and unauthorized data replication.
• Data owners: Potential for uncontrolled duplication of sensitive project information.
• Compliance officers: New considerations for data retention and deletion policies due to copied data.

The Action

1. Review existing Dynamics 365 data governance policies for project data.
2. Assess current data classification and labeling strategies for project entities.
3. Communicate best practices for project duplication to Dynamics 365 users.
4. Monitor Dynamics 365 audit logs for project copy activities to identify unusual patterns.
