Protecting data privacy using Microsoft Azure
The *Protecting Data Privacy Using Microsoft Azure* white paper outlines Microsoft's approach to securing customer and personal data in the cloud. It emphasizes privacy as a core principle, ensuring that customers control their data, choose storage locations, and benefit from encryption at rest and in transit. Microsoft follows a shared responsibility model, securing the infrastructure while customers manage access and compliance. Azure provides governance tools, role-based access control, and encryption features to protect data. The paper also covers compliance with GDPR, US privacy laws, and breach response mechanisms, reinforcing Azure's commitment to privacy and security.
