Microsoft 365 is down. We’re not.

A global Microsoft 365 outage has left many organisations without reliable email since the afternoon of Thursday 12 November, with parts of Teams also affected. The outage was still ongoing on Friday morning.

Finalogic’s operations continue as normal, and we remain available to assist you by phone on +357 22 678944 or through our other usual channels.

For regulated firms, the outage is also a timely test of how a business communicates when its main channel stops.

An outage like this is not, on its own, evidence of a compliance failure at any firm. It does show where preparation matters. For financial entities covered by DORA, Article 11 requires response and recovery plans, and Article 14 requires crisis communication plans for clients, counterparts and the public. A plan that assumes email will be available is weakest on the day it is needed most.
