I took the OP's request as for doing QoS at the edge of their network and
not necessarily the entire path.

As another person stated, the real answer is to add more bandwidth if you
are having to QoS to Office365 because it is affecting other internet based
services.

Depends -- I'd note that the OP said "How can we mark the trafic while
keeping the security..." -- some people use the COS / DSCP bits to
annotate packets with security information, and use that to make
*security decisions* instead of using it to prioritize traffic. Now,
I'm not saying that this is why the OP is asking (or that I think it
is a good idea, because, well,  I don't think it is!), but it *is* a
practice worth knowing about.

Assuming we are discussing such packets traversing the public Internet,
a little tricky to expect IPP/DSCP values to remain intact in the life
of an Internet packet.
