This executable is part of the Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service - anti-piracy security check utility, which is activated for licensing check after starting any Office application.
"This application is part of innovative set of technologies included from Windows Vista and Windows Server “Longhorn.” The technologies are aimed at helping prevent piracy and protect customers from software tampering while making licensing easier to manage. Collectively termed the Microsoft Software Protection Platform, the new technologies introduce improvements in how Microsoft software activates, is validated online and behaves when tampering or hacking is detected."
This functionality can be disabled, but in such case the licencing should not behave correctly (check more on http://forums.mydigitallife.inf o/threads/38979-Disable-SPP-Software-Protection-Platform-!)
Background information for this functionality can be found on Microsoft's bulletin : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/features/2006/oct06/10-04softwareprotection.aspx
In case this platform is running constantly also after the licence check has finished, check this article : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/f1a1cc72-d835-4d1d-8fa5-0c0d298fe4bc/why-does-office-software-protection-platform-service-continue-to-run-after-completing-a-licensing
