About this tag
The customer key tag covers Microsoft Purview updates that extend tenant-controlled encryption to eDiscovery direct export packages. Current coverage focuses on organizations using Microsoft 365 Customer Key to protect exported investigation, litigation, and regulatory materials with their own encryption keys rather than relying only on Microsoft-managed encryption. Posts track the capability’s preview and planned general availability status, including a broader Microsoft 365 rollout and separate timelines for GCC, GCC High, and DoD environments. The tag is particularly relevant to enterprise and government tenants that need stronger control over data exported from Purview eDiscovery cases.
