Microsoft will process Claude models in Copilot inside the EU Data Boundary by the end of 2026
Microsoft Copilot Blog· 5 NovMicrosoft announced that by the end of 2026, organisations in the EU and the EFTA countries will be able to use Anthropic's Claude models across Copilot, including Copilot Cowork, with processing inside the EU Data Boundary. Microsoft says the setting is off by default in the EU and EFTA, admins switch it on in the Microsoft 365 admin center, and customer data is not used to train foundation models.
- If you manage Microsoft 365 for your business, ask whoever runs your admin center whether Claude models are switched on, because the default is off.
- If a client or regulator asks where your AI processing happens, note that Microsoft gives the end of 2026 as the date for the EU processing, not today.
