12. Security <- Minimize your risk
Microsoft Azure is still the only
cloud provider which is complying
with the EU & ISO privacy
standards.
Microsoft leads the industry in its commitment to the protection and privacy of your data and
services.
It starts with the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), our mandatory, industry-leading
assurance process that builds security into Azure from the ground up.
We were the first cloud provider to receive joint approval from the European Union’s data
protection authorities, the Article 29 Working Party, for our strong contractual commitments
to comply with rigorous EU privacy laws. And Microsoft was the first major cloud provider to
adopt the new international standard for cloud privacy, ISO 27018.
Microsoft partners with customers to help them address a wide range of international,
country, and industry-specific regulatory requirements including HIPAA, ISO/IEC 27001:2005
Audit and Certification, FISMA, and the United Kingdom G-Cloud OFFICIAL Accreditation. By
providing customers with compliant, independently verified cloud services, Microsoft makes it
easier for customers to achieve compliance for the infrastructure and applications they run in
Azure.

Microsoft Azure – the cloud for health care

England’s Health Service adopted Azure to cut
costs—and then found the real benefits.
“The Azure data centers are running in
more than twice the regions that of
AWS and more than fives times the
regions that of Google Cloud.”
