Microsoft and Google Obtain Security and Privacy Certifications

May 5, 2016

Security continues to be a major concern for those moving their data and applications to the cloud. Microsoft and Google are alleviating cloud fears by having their systems certified to meet certain standards. For starters, Microsoft's Azure ML service meets certification levels with US HIPAA, ISO 27001, ISO 27018 and the EU Model Clauses. Not to be outdone, Google has 60 products that meet the ISO 27001 standard. Its Google Apps for Work and Google Cloud Platform are also certified for ISO 27017 and ISO 27018.

I fully expect more and more cloud vendors to achieve various certification levels as a way to prove that they are secure and to differentiate themselves from the competition.
