Azure conforms to a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1, and SOC 2, as well as country-specific standards like Australia IRAP, UK G-Cloud and Singapore MTCS.
Rigorous third-party audits, such as by the British Standards Institute, verify Azure’s adherence to the strict security controls that these standards mandate. As part of Microsoft's commitment to transparency, you can request audit results from these third parties to verify successful implementation of security controls.
