Microsoft environment
StratyPro runs within your organization's existing Microsoft cloud environment, allowing payroll control to align with the identity, access, infrastructure and governance principles your organization already uses.
Your payroll data does not need to be moved into a separate standalone payroll SaaS platform for StratyPro. StratyPro is deployed within your organization's Microsoft Azure environment.
Your environment
Many SaaS solutions require business data to be moved into a separate platform operated by the vendor. StratyPro is designed differently.
The StratyPro control layer runs within the organization's existing Microsoft cloud environment, allowing payroll control to align with the infrastructure and governance principles already in place.
Your payroll data does not need to be moved into a separate standalone payroll SaaS platform.
Identity & access
Because StratyPro operates within the organization's Microsoft environment, the solution can align with the organization's existing identity and access architecture.
This means payroll control does not need to be managed as an entirely separate user and access environment.
Data control
Payroll information is among an organization's most sensitive business data. StratyPro is therefore designed so the control layer runs within the organization's existing Microsoft cloud environment.
This allows organizations to apply their existing cloud, access and data-governance principles to payroll control as well.
Microsoft cloud compliance
Microsoft maintains a broad compliance and assurance portfolio for Azure and other in-scope Microsoft cloud services, including internationally recognized ISO standards, independent assurance reports and authorization programs.
StratyPro runs on a Microsoft cloud foundation for which Microsoft maintains this portfolio for in-scope services.
ISO certifications, SOC attestations and other assurance or authorization programs apply to Microsoft cloud services within the relevant audit, assurance or authorization scope. Using Microsoft Azure does not mean that StratyPro itself is automatically certified, attested or authorized against these programs.
ISO/IEC 27001 defines requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Microsoft Azure and other in-scope Microsoft cloud services are independently assessed and certified against this international standard.
Additional security controls specific to cloud services.
Protection of personal data in public cloud computing.
Privacy information management as an extension of information security management.
For payroll organizations, the combination of information security, cloud security and privacy management is particularly relevant because payroll processes involve highly sensitive employee and financial information.
Europe
Microsoft provides contractual, technical and organizational measures designed to support organizations subject to the GDPR.
For in-scope Microsoft enterprise cloud services, Microsoft supports the EU Data Boundary, under which customer data and personal data are stored and processed within the EU/EFTA, subject to Microsoft's documented exceptions.
Final GDPR compliance also depends on factors such as configuration, processing purposes, access management, retention policies and the Microsoft services selected.
Spain
For organizations operating in Spain, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 include in-scope services that have been independently assessed against Spain's Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) at High level (RD 311/2022).
Germany
For Germany, Microsoft supports cloud assurance under the BSI C5 framework for in-scope services.
C5 is the Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue published by Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
United States
The United States does not have one single privacy or security regime that applies to all organizations. Microsoft therefore supports a range of federal, state and sector-specific compliance requirements for in-scope cloud services.
Applicability depends on sector, deployment and the Microsoft services selected.
International
For international payroll organizations, it is relevant that Microsoft's compliance portfolio combines global ISO and SOC assurance with regional cloud-security and government assurance programs.

Shared responsibility
Cloud compliance is a shared responsibility. Microsoft manages and independently assesses controls within its cloud services, while the organization remains responsible for areas including its own data, users, permissions, configuration and business processes.
Payroll & privacy
Payroll contains personal information, financial data and other information that is highly sensitive to employees and organizations.
This makes it important not only what a payroll-control solution can do, but also where it runs, how access is managed and which cloud and compliance foundation supports it.
Control layer within enterprise governance, not as a separate external SaaS platform.
Alignment with Microsoft identity and access principles.
Microsoft regions and compliance programs aligned with your footprint.
Foundation for multi-country payroll control.
Payroll Control
Payroll Control, Review Actions, Payroll Summary and Payroll Intelligence operate within the same StratyPro architecture.

Multi-country Payroll Control
When countries use different payroll systems and providers, central payroll control does not have to mean moving payroll information into a new external payroll platform.
StratyPro combines multi-country payroll control with an architecture that runs within the organization's existing Microsoft cloud environment.
Official information about Microsoft's compliance and assurance portfolio is available from Microsoft.
