Azure Storage audit scope
Microsoft retains independent, third-party auditing firms to conduct audits of Microsoft cloud services. Compliance offerings are grouped into four segments: globally applicable, US government, industry specific, and region/country specific. Azure compliance certificates and audit reports state clearly which cloud services are in scope for independent third-party audits. Different audits may have different cloud services in audit scope across Azure and Azure Government cloud environments.
Azure Storage is included in many Azure compliance audits such as CSA STAR, ISO, SOC, PCI DSS, HITRUST, FedRAMP, DoD, and others. The resulting compliance assurances are applicable to:
- Blobs (including Azure Data Lake Storage)
- Files
- Queues
- Tables
- Disks
- Cool storage
