The Microsoft Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance program sets the security and privacy standards that all Microsoft suppliers must meet when handling Microsoft Confidential data or Microsoft Personal Data. For Indian IT companies, software vendors, and service providers working with Microsoft as a client or partner, SSPA compliance is a mandatory program obligation reviewed and renewed on an annual basis. NuageSec provides specialized SSPA compliance consulting for Microsoft suppliers in Pune, Mumbai, and pan-India at every stage of the program, from initial enrollment through independent assessment and annual renewal.
Contact NuageSec to begin your SSPA compliance assessment and protect your relationship with Microsoft.
Microsoft requires all suppliers to complete an annual Data Protection Requirements questionnaire assessing their security and privacy control environment. Depending on the nature and volume of data handled, Microsoft may require an independent assessment by a qualified third-party assessor. Suppliers with higher risk classifications are subject to the most rigorous assessment requirements. Supplier classifications are based on data type and processing scope.
Suppliers handling significant volumes of personal data or critical confidential information must undergo independent assessments aligned to the full SSPA framework requirements.
