We are happy to announce that Azure recently obtained the CSA STAR Certification.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) for the Government of India, announced that Microsoft is one of the first global cloud service providers to achieve MeitY’s provisional accreditation.

In an effort to push the envelope for providing our customers transparency and a top grade compliance experience, I’d like to to announce a compliance tool newly available through the Microsoft Trust Center for Azure; the Common Controls Hub powered by Unified Compliance.

To help our customers understand how to deploy in Azure while successfully interpreting US and international governance requirements, we produced a series of documents that can be leveraged during your cloud-adoption journey.

Microsoft is the first to bring the sovereign Cloud to Germany.

We are pleased to announce Microsoft published our second Azure Payment Card Industry (PCI) Attestation of Compliance (AoC) for this year on the Microsoft Trust Center.

In the first half of 2016, we achieved four new international certifications as well as renewed and expanded other certifications in seven countries. Read on to learn more.

Microsoft Azure obtained the ISO/IEC 27017:2015 certification, an international standard that aligns with and complements the ISO/IEC 27002:2013 with an emphasis on cloud-specific threats and risks.

Microsoft Azure becomes the first global cloud service provider to receive the Spain Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (National Security Framework) certification at high level security measures.

I’m excited to announce Azure’s certification by the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), making Azure the first public cloud to gain this accreditation.
