Identity data storage for Australian and New Zealand customers in Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID stores identity data in a location chosen based on the address provided by your organization when subscribing to a Microsoft service like Microsoft 365 or Azure. For information on where your Identity Customer Data is stored, you can review the Microsoft Trust center section titled Where is your data located?.
Note
Services and applications that integrate with Microsoft Entra ID have access to Identity Customer Data. Evaluate each service and application you use. Determine how that specific service and application process identity data, and whether they meet your company's data storage requirements.
For customers who provided an address in Australia or New Zealand, Microsoft Entra ID keeps identity data for these services within Australian datacenters:
- Microsoft Entra Directory Management
- Authentication
All other Microsoft Entra services store customer data in global datacenters.
