Compliance and Regulatory Challenges in Cloud Computing: A Sector-Wise Analysis

Abstract

Abstract - The research provides guidelines on avoiding compliance risks in different areas with the use of cloud computing technologies. A comprehensive review of the literature and case studies revealed that an enterprise-wide compliance strategy by organizations operating in the cloud is a compulsory operational requirement. It requires comprehensive security procedures, regular monitoring, and cooperation with compliance professionals and services. Constant observation and regular audits of compliance are essential for detecting weaknesses and being in line with regulatory standards. Collaboration with compliance specialists and service providers facilitates the organization's leveraging of expertise and implementation of sound security measures. It follows from the research that deploying proactive approaches to the management of compliance and embracing emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain will help companies strengthen their security posture and thus overcome compliance risks in an evolving cloud environment. The forecast in cloud compliance includes multi-cloud situations, AI based security solutions as well as emerging technologies for addressing specific security problems. The outcomes from these findings give a good idea of how organizations can address compliance problems in cloud computing.
