Azure OpenAI data privacy and DPA review packet
Prepare an Azure OpenAI data privacy and DPA review packet for customer data, retention, SOC 2 evidence, and questionnaire answers.
Review question
What should we review before using Azure OpenAI language in a customer answer?
Scope for this review
You need to answer Azure OpenAI customer-data, privacy, product terms, and DPA questions with official-source evidence.
What it does
Keep Azure-hosted model evidence separate from direct provider API evidence.
What it does
Attach Microsoft product terms, DPA, privacy, and Azure AI data privacy sources in one packet.
What it does
Route agreement applicability before Trust Center or questionnaire wording is reused.
Direct answer
When to use this packet
Treat Azure OpenAI as a Microsoft cloud path first, then check whether a direct OpenAI answer is actually relevant. The packet shows whether the answer relies on Azure AI documentation, Microsoft product terms, privacy statements, or the Microsoft DPA, and who needs to confirm applicability.
What the packet gives you
Use the free scanner to check scope. Buy the $199 one-time packet when you need the result ready for security, privacy, legal, or founder review.

Official source examples
Vendor facts must be checked against official vendor documentation before they appear in customer-facing answers.
Official-source review
Start with official sources. Keep the review in one packet.
For packet evidence, critical AI and SaaS vendor sources should show a recent reviewed date. Material vendor notices, Trust Center updates, DPA changes, subprocessor notices, and customer-reported changes should be checked before the packet is reused externally.
