What is Microsoft Customer Lockbox?

Most operations, support, and troubleshooting tasks performed by Microsoft employees and their subprocessors generally do not require access to customer data. However, on those rare occasions when such access is necessary, the Customer Lockbox feature for Microsoft Azure provides a mechanism for customers to evaluate and either approve or deny access requests regarding their data. This feature is especially relevant when a Microsoft engineer needs to access customer data due to a support issue raised by the customer or a problem identified by Microsoft. Activity logs are maintained to record interactions related to Customer Lockbox, which can be accessed through the Azure portal by selecting Activity Logs, enabling users to review auditing information associated with these requests. Additionally, users can filter the logs to locate specific actions easily. Moreover, a new baseline control (3.13) has been added to the Azure Security Benchmark, emphasizing the significance of Customer Lockbox. This advancement allows organizations to apply the benchmark in assessing the relevance of Customer Lockbox for their services effectively. Consequently, by utilizing these tools and features, businesses can better uphold robust data security and compliance standards to protect their information.
