COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES IN CLOUD-HOSTED ENVIRONMENTS

Organizations have seen a significant shift in handling data due to their move towards cloud-hosted setups, especially those using multi-cloud environments.Even though these setups bring benefits like better scale, more options, and lower costs, they also come with significant hurdles related to following rules and regulations.This research paper explores significant challenges in cloud-hosted environments, focusing on staying in line with data regulations across multiple cloud platforms and tackling the problems related to laws across different regions and where data resides.The exploration brings to light the difficulties related to data sovereignty laws and shared responsibility models.This research paper explores the need to keep data within specific geographical boundaries due to local legal demands.It suggests tackling these hurdles by actively managing compliance using automation technology, working closely with cloud service companies, and implementing legal and technical methods.The research paper lays out a guide for organizations to tap into the power of cloud technology, keep up with rules, and protect their data by tackling the challenging issues of following regulations in cloud spaces.
