Summary

Microsoft 365 services rest on Microsoft's cloud, and to do their work they often reach into other infrastructure and applications. Those connections make for efficient, well-synchronised ways of working. In practice, though, many users do not know these interfaces exist, and using them sensibly is a challenge of its own. Data protection, too, matters a great deal in the cloud.

Topics covered

Please note: these topics are a rough guide and may vary depending on the group and what it needs.

Data protection and compliance in the cloud

The data protection rules and laws that apply (the GDPR among them). What a company is responsible for. Handling personal data in the cloud

Security features in Microsoft 365

Data protection and security mechanisms in SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. Data protection and information security in SharePoint (setting up secure sites & libraries, managing access rights & sharing options, versioning and restoring documents). Information security in OneDrive (secure file exchange & storage, synchronisation options & version history, data protection & sharing files with internal and external users). Collaboration and data protection in Microsoft Teams (security settings for teams & channels, storing & managing data in Teams chats & files, data protection in Teams meetings & calls). Role-based access control and permissions. Multi-factor authentication and why strong passwords matter. Backups and disaster recovery in the cloud

Learning objectives

After completing the course you will be able to …

  • you know the data protection laws and rules that apply when your company uses cloud services.
  • you have a thorough sense of why data protection and information security matter in the cloud with Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
  • you can make good use of the security features of Microsoft 365, in SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams above all, to protect sensitive data.
  • you know how to use backups and restore options in SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams to guard against losing data.
  • you understand how to set up and manage access rights and permissions in SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, so that you control who reaches confidential information.
Who it is for

The course is for users and asks for no prior knowledge: it is built for beginners. Some experience with the usual Microsoft Office applications does help. It is worth taking for anyone who wants to keep sensitive files safe and still reach them from any device, anywhere.

FAQs

Do you also offer in-house training?

Yes — we are happy to plan your own in-house course with you.

Are the costs of a course with you covered by the Federal Employment Agency?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Can I redeem an education voucher with you?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Where do I find your terms and conditions?

After booking you receive a confirmation with a link to the terms and conditions. You can also find them at the very bottom of the BREDEX Academy website.

Can I book an ISTQB exam without having attended your course first?

Yes — you are welcome to sit the ISTQB exam alone.

Do you also offer the courses online?

Yes, as a rule we offer every course online or remote as well. On the BREDEX website you can see whether your course is offered online on the date you want — it is marked as an online course there. If your date is not available online, simply write to us at weiterbildung@bredex.de.

How does an online course work?

Whether it is facilitating a retrospective, a technical course or a design thinking workshop — our experts guide you remotely at the same quality. Despite the physical distance we put great weight on interaction, lively conversation and a variety of methods. You can see what that looks like in this short video.

Does the software for programming courses have to be installed beforehand for an online course?

We offer every one of our programming courses remotely as online training too — at the same quality. All you need is a device with an internet connection and, ideally, a headset and a camera.
The software a programming course normally needs (the development environment, installed language packages such as Java 8 and the like) does not have to be installed by participants beforehand.
During the course you simply open your browser again and follow our link to the virtual machine. That is a virtual computer running on a host system: a sealed-off environment in which several operating systems of an independent guest system can run side by side on one physical machine. Put simply, another (virtual) computer that you operate from your own. Nothing you do there has any effect on your own device. This way you can reach every piece of software and every tool the course needs and start programming right away — without having to take care of anything before or during the course.
