Leveraging AWS and Azure for highly regulated hosting applications and sites

To leverage AWS and Azure for hosting applications and sites that are highly regulated, companies should take the following steps:

  • Understand regulatory requirements
    Companies should understand the regulatory requirements that apply to their applications and sites, and ensure that the hosting services they choose meet those requirements.
  • Choose the right services
    Companies should choose the appropriate AWS or Azure services and tools to support their compliance needs, such as encryption, access control, and auditing.
  • Implement security best practices
    Companies should implement security best practices, such as using multi-factor authentication, encrypting data, and regularly monitoring for vulnerabilities.
  • Obtain compliance certifications
    Companies should work with AWS or Azure to obtain compliance certifications, such as HIPAA or SOC2, to demonstrate their compliance with regulatory requirements.

Regulated Industry Hosting (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC2)

Hosting applications and sites that are highly regulated, such as those requiring PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or SOC2 compliance, requires a high level of security and regulatory compliance by way of technical controls and policy measures.

AWS and Azure maintain security and organisational controls alongside extensive accreditations, reducing the burden on businesses while providing a range of services that can facilitate the hosting of such applications and sites, including:

Both AWS and Azure have obtained numerous compliance certifications, such as HIPAA, SOC2, and ISO 27001, among others. This means that their infrastructure and services have been audited and approved to meet rigorous security and compliance requirements.

AWS and Azure offer a range of security features, such as network security, encryption, access control, and threat detection. These features help to ensure that sensitive data is protected, and that applications and sites are secure and compliant.

AWS and Azure provide tools and services to help ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, such as logging and auditing tools, encryption key management, and compliance reporting.

AWS and Azure offer dedicated hosting options that provide increased levels of security and control, including dedicated instances and virtual private clouds (VPCs).

AWS and Azure both offer BAAs for HIPAA compliance, which provide assurances that they will comply with HIPAA regulations when handling customer data.
