ClearSource does not state which services and data types the location commitments cover, or where in Switzerland they are stored; read Microsoft’s pages below for that. It also states no price for Advanced Data Residency: the add-on has no SKU in Microsoft’s licence list, so there is no Swiss list price here.

Microsoft’s plan comparisons have no row for Double Key Encryption or Multi-Geo, so ClearSource does not state which plans include them.

Microsoft’s licence list has a Multi-Geo product: Office 365 Multi-Geo Capabilities — No public Swiss price
