Highly Confidential Data

Please note if a Microsoft Team has been marked that it is used for storing Highly Confidential data, you should not sync this data locally to any PC or Mobile device for security reasons. (This feature should be disabled if your Team is set up correctly) 

You will know your Team has been set up as Highly Confidential by the banner at the top right hand side. It should say 'Private, Highly Confidential' - If you have a Team where this is not set up correctly please contact the Team owner who can change this in the settings or contact the IT Service desk and we can ensure this is correctly assigned.
