Microsoft has just announced, via the Azure blog, a new security-related mark in the expansion of its cloud service brand in Europe, this time in Spain.

Specifically, the Redmond technology giant has become the first cloud provider to receive the Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS, or National Security Framework in English) at high security measures for Microsoft Azure. The framework, which encompasses security governance, information security, physical security, personnel security and other guidelines, applies to all Azure regions, and certifies Microsoft Azure’s security policy, procedures and controls as compliant with high-level security measures established on January 8 this year.

Getting the ENS is an important step for Microsoft Azure both in Spain and in EU to build trust in the services and its ability to protect customer data across the Atlantic. More info about the certificate can be found at the Service Trust Portal (a Microsoft account is needed), or through the Microsoft Trust Center. Stay tuned for more Azure and Microsoft news.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
