FAQ
Microsoft SSPA—Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance—is a required compliance program for suppliers that process Microsoft personal or confidential data. If your organization provides products or services to Microsoft and handles these data, you'll need to enroll and complete annual compliance requirements.
All enrolled suppliers must complete an annual self-attestation. Some organizations must also undergo an independent assessment, including subprocessors, SaaS providers, suppliers that use subcontractors, website hosting providers, and organizations that handle highly confidential data, personally identifiable information (PII), or protected health information (PHI). Your Data Processing Profile in Microsoft's Aravo portal determines which requirements apply.
The Microsoft Data Protection Requirements (DPR) are the security and privacy requirements suppliers must meet as part of the SSPA program. The DPR is organized into Sections A through K, covering areas such as privacy, security, data handling, and AI governance.
In some cases, yes. ISO 27001 is generally accepted for SSPA Section J, and SOC 2 Type II may also satisfy certain requirements depending on your data processing profile. ISO 42001 can be used as the independent assessment for Section K of the DPR. In some cases, it may even be required. Vanta automatically maps your existing controls to SSPA requirements and identifies any gaps, so you can focus only on what's missing.
Vanta centralizes the policies, technical evidence, and documentation needed for your assessment. You can track progress, identify gaps, and keep evidence organized before engaging an approved SSPA assessor.
Yes, Vanta supports Microsoft SSPA requirements across Sections A through K, including AI-related requirements. Contact your Vanta team for the latest information on framework support and implementation timelines.
