Microsoft adopts first international cloud privacy standard

  • Article

Microsoft announced it is the first major cloud provider to adopt ISO/IEC 27018, the world’s first international standard for cloud privacy. More importantly for our customers, independent auditors have verified that Microsoft Azure, Office 365, Dynamics CRM Online and Intune follow the standard’s code of practice for the protection of personal information. This is an important milestone that reinforces Microsoft's commitment to security, privacy, compliance and greater transparency. This also clearly differentiates Microsoft from our competitors.
