Dynamics 365 Commerce: Omnichannel commerce - Support cross-legal entity order fulfillment for Dynamics 365 Commerce

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Commerce now supports cross-legal entity order fulfillment, allowing inventory and orders to span multiple company boundaries. This change streamlines operations but introduces new intercompany data flows and access considerations.

The Impact

Security teams must review data segregation and access controls due to new cross-entity data flows, increasing data exposure risk.

• Security teams: Increased risk of data exposure and compliance breaches due to intercompany data sharing.
• Compliance officers: New challenges in maintaining data segregation and residency requirements across legal entities.
• Identity teams: Potential need to review and adjust access policies for users interacting with cross-entity data.

The Action

1. Review existing Dynamics 365 Commerce data segregation policies for cross-legal entity implications.
2. Assess current access controls and roles to ensure appropriate permissions for intercompany order fulfillment.
3. Update data flow diagrams and privacy impact assessments to include new cross-entity data transfers.
4. Consult with legal and compliance teams regarding data residency and cross-border data transfer implications.
