Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations cross-app: One Dynamics One Platform - Build custom scenarios with Archive Framework
🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 now allows custom archiving scenarios using its native framework. This enables organisations to archive non-standard data sets, improving data retention compliance and reducing reliance on Microsoft for specific archival needs.
The Impact
Data owners and compliance teams are affected, with a potential risk of misconfigured custom archives leading to data loss or non-compliance.
- Data Owners: Risk of non-compliance if custom archive policies are incorrectly defined.
- Compliance Teams: Opportunity to meet specific regulatory requirements, but risk of oversight if custom solutions are not audited.
- Security Teams: Need to ensure custom archive configurations align with data protection and retention policies.
- IT Administrators: Responsibility for correctly implementing and validating custom archive scenarios.
The Action
- Review and understand the Dynamics 365 Archive Framework documentation for custom scenarios.
- Develop clear internal policies for custom data archiving, including data classification and retention periods.
- Implement custom archive scenarios in a test environment first, validating data integrity and retention outcomes.
- Establish an audit process for all custom archive configurations and their execution logs.
- Ensure appropriate access controls are applied to custom archive configurations and the archived data.
