Today, as part of our ongoing support of the Cybersecurity Executive Order, I am pleased to announce the final release in a series of documents on enabling compliance with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) through Microsoft Azure services. This release specifically outlines how to implement the Recover function requirements using the services offered by Azure. The Whitepaper is available on the Service Trust Portal under “Compliance Guides”.

Microsoft is committed to assisting our Federal customers, who must comply with the Presidential Executive Order on Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure. We are continuing to develop tools and resources to help with both addressing the core risks outlined in the order, and implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) as the order requires.

Your feedback will allow us to create more specialized guidance and documentation in the future. E-mail AzureBlueprint@Microsoft.com with all feedback on our NIST CSF Guidance.
