    "There are 90 Azure compliance certifications ... Azure has 35 compliance

certifications_note: >-
  Only the frameworks Microsoft's own Entra standards page names directly are
  listed above with evidence URLs. Microsoft's wider catalogue (ISO/IEC 27001,
  27017, 27018, 27701, SOC 1/2/3, PCI DSS, CSA STAR and the rest of the 90) is
  published per-offering under
  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/compliance/offerings/ and is
  downloadable from the Service Trust Portal; it is not restated here because it
  was not read item by item during this pass.
shared_responsibility:
  note: >-
    Microsoft states plainly that compliance is shared: Azure certification is a
    starting point, and the customer must still configure Microsoft Entra ID to
    meet the identity standard they are held to. Entra publishes per-standard
    configuration guidance (for example NIST authenticator assurance levels and
    FedRAMP High) under https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/standards/.
