Cloud Security Compliance

Cloud compliance ensures your use of AWS, Azure, and GCP meets the highest security, privacy, and financial accountability standards. We combine CPA credibility with cloud engineering to keep you compliant with SOC 2, ISO, FedRAMP, GDPR, and more — while saving money through FinOps.”

​

Why Cloud Compliance Matters to Businesses

• Legal & Financial Risk: Avoid fines (GDPR penalties, PCI non-compliance).

• Customer Trust: SOC 2 reports or ISO certifications are table stakes for SaaS and fintech.

• Operational Resilience: Cloud misconfigurations cause 70% of breaches.

• Competitive Advantage: Being “always audit-ready” speeds up sales cycles with enterprise clients.

• ​

Regulatory & Industry Frameworks

• Financial sector: SOX, GLBA, DORA.

• Healthcare: HIPAA, HITECH.

• Privacy: GDPR, CCPA.

• Security: SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS.

👉 Cloud providers supply infrastructure, but compliance responsibility is shared — customers still must configure and prove controls.

 Shared Responsibility Model

• Cloud Provider (AWS/Azure/GCP): Physical security, infrastructure, availability.

• Customer (Your Client): Access management, encryption, data classification, monitoring, compliance reporting.

👉 Example: AWS secures the data center, but your client must enable encryption, MFA, and log monitoring.

​

 Core Control Areas in Cloud Compliance

• Identity & Access Management (IAM): Strong authentication, least-privilege access.

• Data Protection: Encryption at rest and in transit, key management.

• Logging & Monitoring: Continuous activity logs (CloudTrail, Splunk, ServiceNow, Expel SOC).

• Configuration Management: Ensuring workloads match compliance baselines (e.g., CIS benchmarks).

• Incident Response: Cloud-native response plans tested regularly.

• Vendor Risk Management: SaaS compliance (Salesforce, Shopify, Microsoft 365).
