# Compliance in Windows 365 | ||
|
||
Windows 365 supports compliance features to help organizations meet national, regional, and industry-specific regulations. Windows 365 align with Microsoft's commitment to data protection, privacy, and compliance, offering tools to help secure and manage data effectively. | ||
|
||
## Shared responsibility model | ||
|
||
Microsoft ensures that Windows 365 complies with various industry standards and regulatory frameworks. However, customers are responsible for implementing their data protection and compliance strategies to align with their specific organizational requirements. | ||
|
||
## Compliance certifications | ||
|
||
Windows 365 are covered under several compliance certifications and regulatory standards. The following table provides a sample of the key certifications that are covered: | ||
|

| [ISO 27001](/compliance/regulatory/offering-iso-27001) | International standard for information security management | Global | | ||
| [HIPAA](/compliance/regulatory/offering-hipaa-hitech) | U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act | United States | | ||
|
||

These features are designed to ensure your organization can effectively monitor, classify, and safeguard its data while maintaining compliance with industry standards. | ||
|
