The Microsoft Service Trust Portal provides a variety of content, tools, and other resources about how Microsoft cloud services protect your data, and how you can manage cloud data security and compliance for your organization.
The Service Trust Portal (STP) is Microsoft's public site for publishing audit reports and other compliance-related information associated with Microsoft’s cloud services. STP users can download audit reports produced by external auditors and gain insight from Microsoft-authored whitepapers that provide details on how Microsoft cloud services protect your data, and how you can manage cloud data security and compliance for your organization.
To access some of the resources on the Service Trust Portal, you must log in as an authenticated user with your Microsoft cloud services account (Azure Active Directory organization account) and review and accept the Microsoft non-disclosure agreement for Compliance Materials.
The Service Trust Portal landing page includes content that is organized into the following categories:
Certifications, Regulations, and Standards
Reports, Whitepapers, and Artifacts
Industry and Regional Resources
Resources for your Organization
As users navigate to content in the different categories, selecting the Service Trust Portal link at the top of the page provides a quick way to get back to the home page.
