Microsoft SPLA Audit Defense – Cut Costs, Stay in Control
A Microsoft SPLA audit isn’t just a checkup—it’s a revenue engine designed to find gaps, inflate findings, and push you into paying massive back fees or locking into long-term contracts you don’t need. Without expert support, most service providers overpay millions just to end the audit.
That’s where Redress Compliance comes in. We’re the #1 Microsoft SPLA audit defense experts, trusted by hosting providers and service organizations worldwide to slash audit exposure, protect their operations, and settle on their terms—not Microsoft’s.
Here’s how we help. First, we mirror Microsoft’s audit methodology, reviewing your SPLA usage data, entitlements, and reporting practices to spot risks before Microsoft does. That allows us to fix issues proactively and avoid costly surprises.
Next, we manage the audit process end-to-end. Our team of former vendor licensing and audit specialists handles every detail—communications, data exchanges, and interactions with Microsoft and their auditors—so you stay in control throughout.
When Microsoft delivers inflated findings, we challenge them line by line, using insider knowledge to dismantle their claims and ensure you only pay for legitimate usage—not padded estimates.
Finally, we negotiate the settlement, cutting penalties by 50% or more, avoiding unnecessary purchases, and making sure you’re not forced into contracts that hurt your bottom line.
Our clients routinely save millions, cut their SPLA audit exposure by half or more, and walk away with terms that protect their finances and flexibility.
If Microsoft has launched—or is about to launch—an SPLA audit, don’t face it alone. Partner with Redress Compliance. Former vendor insiders. Now, your advantage.
