The #1 Microsoft SPLA Audit Defense Experts
Why Enterprises Trust Redress Compliance to Minimize Costs and Risks
Who Needs This Service?
Microsoft SPLA (Service Provider License Agreement) audits are rarely simple—they’re designed to identify gaps, push for back payments, and lock providers into higher ongoing costs. Without expert support, most organizations overpay, face unnecessary penalties, and end up signing restrictive agreements just to end the audit quickly.

Organizations that have been notified of an upcoming Microsoft SPLA audit and need expert guidance to prepare, stay in control, and defend their usage and reporting.

At Redress Compliance, we’re the #1 independent SPLA audit defense experts, with a team of former vendor licensing and audit specialists who know Microsoft’s audit playbook inside and out. We mirror their audit methodology, identify risks before they do, and dismantle inflated findings, ensuring you pay as little as possible.
What Do We Offer?
Complete Microsoft SPLA Audit Defense – Minimize Risk, Cut Costs, and Take Control
Microsoft SPLA audits are designed to find gaps, inflate findings, and pressure service providers into paying millions in back fees or committing to restrictive contracts. Without expert guidance, most organizations overpay and lose control of the process.
At Redress Compliance, we provide a proven, end-to-end SPLA audit defense strategy that ensures you pay as little as possible and close the audit on terms that protect your business.
Pre-Audit Risk Assessment & Preparation
We start by mirroring Microsoft’s audit methodology, reviewing your usage data, entitlements, and reporting to identify and fix compliance risks before Microsoft does—reducing your exposure from day one.
Audit Process Management
Our team of former vendor licensing and audit specialists manages every stage of the audit, including communications, data requests, and interactions with Microsoft and its auditors. We maintain a fair, controlled, and aligned audit process that is in line with your timelines.
Usage Documentation & Defense
We accurately document and validate your SPLA usage, ensuring it aligns with your agreements and blocking Microsoft from inflating numbers to justify penalties.
Negotiation & Settlement Support
Once findings are finalized, we negotiate directly with Microsoft to minimize any settlement, avoid unnecessary purchases, and prevent you from being forced into long-term commitments that don’t fit your business model.

Why Hosting Providers and Service Organizations Trust Redress Compliance
Microsoft SPLA audits are rarely just about compliance—they’re designed to generate revenue. Microsoft and its auditors dig deep to uncover gaps, inflate findings, and pressure you into paying huge back fees or committing to long-term, restrictive contracts that often hurt your business more than they help.
That’s why hosting providers and service organizations worldwide trust Redress Compliance. Our Microsoft SPLA Audit Defense Service is built to shield your business from inflated audit demands, cut penalties, and help you close the audit on your terms—not Microsoft’s.

Our clients routinely reduce their SPLA audit exposure by 50% or more, save millions in unnecessary costs, and exit audits without being locked into contracts that don’t serve their business.
