Cloud compliance refers to meeting legal, regulatory, and industry standards (like HIPAA, GDPR, or SOC 2) when storing and processing data in the cloud.
Why it matters:
- Avoids fines, data breaches, and loss of customer trust.
- Different industries have unique cloud compliance requirements.
Pro tip: Choose providers that offer built-in compliance certifications — but remember, compliance is shared between you and your provider.
