Why is there no way of knowing? I would think Microsoft is able to do forensic snapshot comparisons for their datacenters -- at least, I would assume a trillion dollar company does.
- eqvinox 3y agoEstablishing that ability costs money (i.e. having snapshots & co.), and actually executing it costs further money. Absent either customers paying for it, or regulations requiring it, Microsoft certainly won't sink money out of the goodness of their heart. I don't believe there are a lot of regulations for this — and how many customers do you think would pay for something like this? Realistically? :-(
- insanitybit 3y agoI mean, they at least have SOC2 compliance, and obviously a lot more (FEDRAMP). To get those certifications an auditor is going to make sure you have basic shit in place like logging, etc.
- nerdbert 3y agoThey're not going to make sure of anything, in my experience, except that an org's IT management had a disappointing conversation with their team and then aspirationally checked boxes claiming to have things in place.
- notnmeyer 3y agoyeah, but SOC auditors barely understand the stuff you’re providing as proof.
- insanitybit 3y agoIt's gonna depend on the auditor, but yeah of course SOC2 doesn't mean "you're secure" but unless you actively lie to your auditor you're going to have some basic stuff in place.
- Deathcrow 3y agono one can do what you suggest. it's nonsense.
