A high-stakes requirement, made simple.
The Microsoft Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance (SSPA) program is mandatory for suppliers who handle Microsoft personal or confidential data. To keep doing business with Microsoft, you complete a Data Protection Requirements (DPR) assessment, often with third-party validation such as penetration testing, policy reviews and risk assessments.
We support you through every step, whether you need a full SSPA audit or a third-party attestation, and simplify a process that is otherwise time-consuming, technical and high-stakes.

Microsoft SSPA questions, answered.
Still not sure? Bring your questions to a scoping call.
What is Microsoft SSPA, and why does my company need it?
Microsoft's Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance program sets the security and privacy requirements for vendors that handle Microsoft data. If you work with Microsoft or plan to, you must align with the requirements and complete the annual self-attestation to stay eligible as an approved supplier.
What does the SSPA compliance process include?
Understanding your scope, reviewing your data handling, mapping controls to the Data Protection Requirements, closing gaps, preparing documentation and completing the attestation. We guide you through each step.
How long does SSPA readiness and attestation take?
It depends on your maturity and how much remediation is needed. Most companies complete it within a few weeks, and our project management keeps it moving even with limited internal resources.
What documentation do we need?
Clear evidence of your security and privacy controls: policies, procedures, technical configurations, training records, vendor management processes and more. We help you understand what is required and prepare or update what is missing.
How is GRSee different from other providers?
Deep cybersecurity expertise with hands-on support: a dedicated team, strong project management and direct access to senior experts, so the attestation is smooth and predictable.
