Microsoft today announced that Azure IoT Hub has been awarded several major compliance certifications for the public cloud. Compliance certifications are critical for using cloud services in a variety of industry verticals such as healthcare, finance, and energy management. With this recent round of audits, Azure IoT Hub is compliant with the following:

• SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and SOC 3 for applications in which confidentiality and privacy of information stored and processed in the cloud is critical
• CSA Star Attestation for cloud security across multiple control areas
