Making data protection decisions clearer.

I'm Victor “Vitão” Fernandes, a data protection professional working across architecture, implementation, and operations in the Microsoft ecosystem. My focus is understanding what needs protecting, choosing the right controls, and verifying how they work in practice. I write Not by Default to share the thinking behind technical decisions, not just the configuration steps.
