assistant
Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations in the multi-cloud environment was a critical aspect of John's implementation. He started by conducting a thorough assessment of applicable regulations (such as GDPR, CCPA) and their implications for data storage and processing across Azure and AWS. John implemented a unified data classification system that worked consistently across both clouds, tagging sensitive data appropriately. He utilized cloud-native encryption tools to ensure data was encrypted both at rest and in transit. John set up geo-fencing policies to ensure that certain types of data remained within specific geographical boundaries as required by regulations. He also implemented strict access controls and audit logging across both clouds to monitor and control data access. Regular compliance audits were automated using cloud-native and third-party compliance tools. Additionally, John conducted training sessions for the client's team on maintaining compliance in a multi-cloud environment. John ensured compliance with data protection regulations by implementing a unified data classification system, utilizing encryption, setting up geo-fencing policies, and establishing strict access controls and audit logging across both Azure and AWS, supported by regular automated compliance audits.
