A stopped (deallocated) VM is offline and not mounted on an Azure host server. Starting a VM mounts the VM on a host server before the VM starts. As soon as the VM is mounted, it becomes chargeable. For this reason, you are unable to start a VM after a trial has expired.

The Security Center blade from the Azure portal includes the ‘regulatory compliance dashboard’.

The regulatory compliance dashboard provides insight into your compliance posture for a set of supported standards and regulations, based on continuous assessments of your Azure environment.

In the Azure Security Center regulatory compliance blade, you can get an overview of key portions of your compliance posture with respect to a set of supported standards. Currently supported standards are Azure CIS, PCI DSS 3.2, ISO 27001, and SOC TSP.

In the dashboard, you will find your overall compliance score, and the number of passing versus failing assessments with each standard. You can now focus your attention on the gaps in compliance for a standard or regulation that is important to you.
