Microsoft Azure


Microsoft Azure is a growing collection of integrated cloud services analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage and web for moving faster, achieving more and saving money. Here is what you can do with Azure.

Whats is Microsoft Azure ?

"Azure is the only major cloud platform ranked by Gartner as an industry leader for both infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). This powerful combination of managed and unmanaged services lets you build, deploy, and manage applications any way you like for unmatched productivity."

Security and privacy are embedded into the development of Azure

Microsoft makes security and privacy a priority at every step, from code development up to incident response.

Microsoft designs its software for security from the ground up. We build security into software code following an approach known as the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). This company-wide, mandatory development process embeds security requirements into the entire software lifecycle, from planning up to deployment. To help ensure that operational activities follow the same security priorities, we have developed rigorous security guidelines laid out in the Operational Security Assurance (OSA) process. When issues arise, a feedback loop helps ensure that future revisions of OSA address them. 

We build privacy protections into Azure through Privacy by Design, a program that mandates how we build and operate products and services to protect privacy. Standards and processes arise out of the Microsoft Privacy Standard, which details Microsoft’s core privacy requirements and practices. 

Privacy: You own and control your data

For more than 20 years, Microsoft has been a leader in creating robust online solutions designed to protect the privacy of our customers. Our time-tested approach to privacy and data protection is grounded in our commitment to organisations’ ownership of and control over the collection, use and distribution of their information.
You are in control of your data. Because the customer data you host on Azure belongs to you, you have control over where it is stored and how it is securely accessed and deleted.

Transparency: You know how your data is stored and accessed and how we help secure it

Microsoft Azure is built on the premise that for you to control your own customer data in the cloud, you require visibility into that data. You must know where it is stored. You must also know, through clearly stated and readily available policies and procedures, how we help secure your customer data, who can access it and under what circumstances. And don’t take our word for it: you can review the third-party audits and certifications that confirm that we meet the standards we set.
