Requirements around compliance are complex and nuanced: from HIPAA to the IRS to the Department of Defense (DoD) and FedRAMP, cloud service providers should prove they not only understand compliance standards\u2014but can help you meet them. Only government regulators can determine when an agency or organization is in compliance.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is the only cloud service provider that offers a cloud that is DoD Impact Level 5 Provisional Authorization (PA)-ready for infrastructure, platform, and productivity services (DoD regions of Microsoft Azure Government and Office 365 U.S. Government Defense), and our Azure Government FedRAMP Provisional ATO\u2019s<\/a> include 26 services in the scope boundary. Microsoft has worked with customers to achieve FedRAMP compliance across all 3 clouds: Azure (IaaS, PaaS), O365 (SaaS) and Dynamics 365 (SaaS), the first cloud service to achieve a JAB P-ATO using the new FedRAMP Accelerated Process<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s compliance certifications and accreditations help government organizations to meet regulations spanning:<\/p>\n

\u25cf Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy regarding protection of Criminal Justice Information<\/p>\n

\u25cf IRS Publication 1075 regarding protection of Federal Tax Information<\/p>\n

\u25cf International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)<\/p>\n

\u25cf Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regarding protection of student privacy<\/p>\n

\u25cf Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regarding protection of private health information<\/p>\n

\u25cf Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP \u2014 including FedRAMP High, FedRAMP, Moderate and FedRAMP Accelerated) \u2013 to meet US Government cloud security requirements<\/p>\n
