Azure Policy regulatory compliance built-in initiatives

For extra customer assistance, Microsoft provides Azure Policy regulatory compliance built-in initiatives, which map to compliance domains and controls in key US government standards, including:

For more regulatory compliance built-in initiatives that pertain to Azure Government, see Azure Policy samples.

Regulatory compliance in Azure Policy provides built-in initiative definitions to view a list of the controls and compliance domains based on responsibility – customer, Microsoft, or shared. For Microsoft-responsible controls, we provide extra audit result details based on third-party attestations and our control implementation details to achieve that compliance. Each control is associated with one or more Azure Policy definitions. These policies may help you assess compliance with the control; however, compliance in Azure Policy is only a partial view of your overall compliance status. Azure Policy helps to enforce organizational standards and assess compliance at scale. Through its compliance dashboard, it provides an aggregated view to evaluate the overall state of the environment, with the ability to drill down to more granular status.
