The EU Cloud CoC is the first&nbsp;GDPR&nbsp;code of conduct that has received the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) positive opinion, which was followed by final approval led by the Belgian Data Protection Authority. The EU Cloud CoC also marks the 100th compliance offering for <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure<\/a>, more than any other cloud provider, providing customers a high level of assurance through controls, evidence, and verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU Cloud CoC serves as a basis for implementing the requirements of Article 28 of the GDPR for cloud providers acting as business-to-business processors under the GDPR. Because the EU Cloud CoC is approved by the EDPB, Azure customers can use Azure\u2019s adherence to help <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/compliance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demonstrate their own GDPR compliance<\/a>, as well as cite it as a risk mitigator in a GDPR Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). Article 40 of the GDPR specifically encourages the creation of codes of conduct, so as \u201cto contribute to the proper application of the regulation.\u201d SCOPE Europe acts as the independent monitoring body of the EU Cloud CoC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This verification of adherence for over 140 Azure services shows the broadness and robustness of our monitoring scheme, which applies strong safeguards to ensure that declared services are meeting all requirements set out in the Code. With the support of key companies like Microsoft, and now with its final approval, the EU Cloud Code of Conduct has solidified its position as an unparalleled market standard capable of ensuring GDPR compliance while fostering continuous innovation and growth.\u201d\u2014J\u00f6rn Wittmann, Managing Director, SCOPE Europe<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2a88a60d-8392-4795-8f3d-42ddba54343e.webp\" alt=\"A green outline of a cloud with a green check mark and black text that reads cloud data protection level two\" title=\"CoC_DataProtection_LevelTwo\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Microsoft Azure services are verified compliant with the EU Cloud CoC, Verification-ID: 2021LVL02SCOPE116.

Customers and evaluators can verify Azure\u2019s adherence to these and other security and privacy standards, such as SOC 1-3, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53 HITRUST, and PCI DSS in <a href=\"https:\/\/ms.portal.azure.com\/#blade\/Microsoft_Azure_Security\/AuditReportsBlade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Security Center<\/a>. Azure combined certifications and offer hundreds of built-in security controls\u2014such as authentication, access, encryption, and logging\u2014that are mapped to these standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"learn-more\">Learn more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now with 100 compliance offerings, Azure has the industry\u2019s broadest and deepest compliance portfolio.
