Office 365 Becomes First and Only Major Cloud Productivity Service to Comply With Leading EU and U.S. Standards for Data Protection and Security

A long title but this was the title of the official press statement yesterday. Compliance is always a key question in the public cloud space. Therefore it is very important for us that we now achieved three things:

  • Office 365 is compliant with EU Model Clauses, Data Processing Agreements and ISO 27001 among other standards.
  • Office 365 is the first and only major cloud productivity service that enables HIPAA compliance.
  • The Office 365 Trust Center provides in-depth information about the privacy and security practices for Office 365 and was recently redesigned to be more accessible and easy to understand.  The new site can be accessed at https://trust.office365.com.
