Yes. For Microsoft 365 service incidents, the official statement source is the tenant-specific Service Health Dashboard in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Supported facts that can be shared with local authorities:
- Microsoft posts incident communications for Microsoft 365 administrators in the Service Health Dashboard (SHD) in the Microsoft 365 Admin Portal.
- During a service incident, updates are normally provided on an hourly cadence unless Microsoft communicates a different cadence in SHD postings.
- The communications are targeted to affected customers or potentially affected customers.
- For broader network issues, Microsoft also publishes the Microsoft 365 network health status page, but it can have delays because updates may be manual.
If a formal incident record is needed for operational or emergency procedures, the strongest Microsoft-provided source is the tenant-specific SHD entry for the affected service incident. For broad connectivity events, the public network health status page can be used as supplemental evidence.
If the issue involves a possible data breach rather than service availability, customers are expected to contact Microsoft Support.
