In this chapter, we discussed both the Service Trust Portal and Compliance Manager. Together, the Service Trust Portal and Compliance Manager can help organizations achieve and maintain compliance with industry-based standards and regulatory controls. We also covered some of the most common questions organizations have when assessing a cloud service, such as how data is secured, where data is stored, and what data resiliency protections are in place.

In the next chapter, we'll begin reviewing licensing options, including which cloud services may be available on licensing styles or agreements.
