Does microsoft store the log for queries performed by their administrators?


When microsofts database administrators access the sensitive information from a database, do the create a log of the activities of their administrators?

Do they have the privilege to execute 'insert' query in the hosted databases?


Solution

  • Windows Azure is FISMA certified (Meaning it's approved for the US government to use), I'm quite sure hosted data is safe.
