Is my data secure on Azure??

  • Artículo

Recently, I have been hearing lot of concerns from organizations regarding security of their data for the services hosted on Windows Azure. I would like to address the concern by providing some details regarding Security and regulatory compliance for Windows  Azure.

The security for Microsoft Cloud is managed by Online Services Security and Compliance team, which maintains the security control framework and develops policies and programs for ensuring compliance and managing security risks. The Microsoft cloud undergoes annual audits for PCI DSS, SOX and HIPAA compliance, as well as internal assessments throughout the year. The Microsoft cloud has obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certification and SAS 70 Type 1 and II attestations.

For more details on Microsoft approach to cloud security , read on..
