Dynamics 365 Contact Center: Out of the box real time translation on digital channels

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Contact Center now includes out-of-the-box real-time translation for digital channels. This introduces a new third-party translation service, potentially exposing sensitive customer data to an external provider.

The Impact

Dynamics 365 administrators and security teams are affected by the introduction of a new third-party data processing service, increasing data exposure risk.

  • Dynamics 365 administrators: Must review and configure new translation settings to prevent unintended data exposure.
  • Security teams: Need to assess the data handling practices of the integrated translation service for compliance.
  • Compliance officers: Must verify that customer data processed by the translation service adheres to data residency and privacy regulations.
  • End-users (service reps): Will use the feature, potentially processing sensitive data through an external service.

The Action

  1. Review Dynamics 365 Contact Center documentation for details on the integrated translation service provider and its data handling policies.
  2. Assess the data residency and privacy compliance of the translation service provider against organizational and regulatory requirements.
  3. Configure Dynamics 365 Contact Center translation settings to restrict usage or data types if the service does not meet compliance standards.
  4. Implement data loss prevention (DLP) policies within Dynamics 365 to monitor and prevent sensitive information from being sent to the translation service.
  5. Communicate data handling guidelines to service representatives using the real-time translation feature.
