In this Microsoft Channel 9 executive video, we meet Steven Cloherty, Senior Director of Risk Management for Microsoft Online Services.  Steven runs our risk management team which includes security, privacy, business continuity, and regulatory compliance teams. He and his teams make sure that our services are safe and recoverable, that our customers’ data are safe, and that their privacy is protected.

The Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) has recently earned the Statement on Auditing Standard (SAS) No. 70 Type II, and the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) 27001 standard – among others.  In addition, Microsoft has launched a new dedicated government cloud, as part of the Business Productivity Online Suite, to meet the most rigorous government requirements for security and privacy, including complying with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Learn how these and other certifications help ensure our customers security, privacy, and business continuity.
