The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Trust Center is a website that provides information about the privacy and security practices for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online service.
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Trust Center offers information about the privacy, transparency, independent verification and security features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.
Recently, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online has registered with the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR) program, making Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online the first cloud CRM service to provide this level of transparency.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online joins Microsoft Office 365 and Windows Azure with their Trust Centers and CSA STAR registrations, underscoring Microsoft’s commitment to customers’ data security and privacy.
“Customers have to be confident that their business solutions are meeting their high-level security features and privacy needs. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Trust Center ensures transparency in how we operate Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and handle these critical customer needs,” said Dennis Michalis, general manager, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Corp.
According to Gartner, by year-end 2016, more than 50 percent of Global 1000 companies will have stored customer-sensitive data in the public cloud. Many enterprises are reaping great benefits from cloud computing, primarily in added business agility and cost savings.
“Enterprises should ensure that potential cloud service providers are trustworthy in areas of security, privacy and operational characteristics. Enterprises should perform due diligence on potential cloud service providers through the use of emerging cloud standards, certifications, cloud services brokers, questionnaires and interviews, and by generally doing your homework,” said Gene Phifer, vice president distinguished analyst, Gartner.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online has built-in capabilities for compliance with a wide range of regulations and privacy mandates, including EU Safe Harbor, EU Model Clauses, ISO 27001, SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type II, and HIPAA-HITECH.
