Microsoft updates compliance framework weeks after Nayara fiasco
Weeks after it got embroiled in a legal dispute over blocking of email services to a Russia-backed refinery, tech super giant Microsoft Corp has revamped its compliance framework, unveiling a new set of digital commitments designed specifically for India.
In July this year, when the European Union sanctioned India-based Nayara Energy for its Russian links, Microsoft Corp – apparently following a set protocol – stopped providing email and other services, prompting the refiner to sue the tech giant in the Delhi High Court. It restored the services before the court heard the matter.
