Last Thursday marked the 10 year dnalounge of Trustworthy Computing. Two years ago when Steve Ballmer said about cloud computing that "we're all in" - that signaled almost as big a change at Microsoft for security as the original Bill Gates memo launching trustworthy computing. For the first time, we would not only need to design and maintain products and software with the right security, but we would be responsible for actually hosting our business customers' data in a trustworthy way.
In cloud computing, it's not enough to build security into services. We have to run them in a secure way, and have external auditors verify we are doing so, while meeting our customers' requirements to adhere to privacy and security regulations around the world. Many of US had been working on security, privacy, and compliance for several years already with the launch of Office 365. right now, over 50 people work full time on security, privacy, and compliance on Office 365 alone. In addition to ensuring a set of security best practices in service design and operations, we also meet the requirements of independent audits and regulatory requirements of tough standards like ISO 27001, SSAE 16, the EU model clauses, HIPAA, and FISMA. Our challenge is not just good security, but doing so for the broadest set of customers in the world, with all of their varying expectations and needs. For more information about security, privacy, and compliance in Office 365, please see Center-not only will trust the Office 365 you find out a lot about security in Office 365, you'll get to meet some of US in our videos as well: http://trust.office365.com/.
