The EDPS has adopted a Decision on the Rules on the Hearing in EDPS' Investigations. These Rules apply to any hearing which is held to ensure the proper exercise of the right to be heard of the controllers or processors that could be adversely affected by an EDPS' final decision adopted in own-initiative investigations and inquiries.
The EDPS may decide to start an investigation when we have a strong suspicion of an infringement of data protection rules by an EUI.
The aim of the investigation is to check whether an infringement of the applicable data protection rules, in particular the EUDPR, has occurred and to establish its circumstances.

The EDPS has an ongoing investigation into Commission’s use of Microsoft Office 365 (M365).
While the ongoing investigation by the EDPS concerns the Commission in its capacity as a controller for its use of M365, the future outcome of this investigation should nevertheless be instructive for other EU institutions (EUIs) procuring of Microsoft products and services under the same inter-institutional licensing agreement with Microsoft.
