Azure Cloud Services
An Azure platform as a service offer that is used to deploy web and cloud applications.
Azure SOC 1 and SOC 2 bridge letters are issued during the first week of each quarter and cover the prior three-month period. For Azure, Dynamics 365, and other online services, the examples given are:
- January letter: 1-Oct through 31-Dec
- April letter: 1-Jan through 31-Mar
- July letter: 1-Apr through 30-Jun
- October letter: 1-Jul through 30-Sep
Based on that publication cadence, a bridge letter covering 1 October 2026 onward would be the January bridge letter, covering 1-Oct-2026 through 31-Dec-2026.
The available documentation does not provide a specific published release date beyond that stated quarterly cadence.
Azure SOC audit reports and bridge letters are available in the Service Trust Portal SOC reports section. To download audit documents, an existing Azure subscription or free trial account is required.
