GRC STRATEGIES IN MODERN CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURES: A REVIEW OF COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES

Abstract

This research paper delves into the intricate landscape of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) in modern cloud infrastructures. As organisations increasingly migrate critical operations to the cloud, they encounter data security, legal compliance, and effective vendor management challenges. The paper explores a comprehensive range of GRC strategies, technological solutions, and best practices to address these challenges. It investigates the evolving regulatory landscape, the shared responsibility model, and the dynamic nature of cloud environments. Technological solutions, including cloud-native GRC platforms, AI and ML for threat detection, and automated security tools, emerge as pivotal components for fortifying GRC in the cloud. The paper concludes with strategic recommendations for organisations seeking to enhance their GRC strategies and navigate the complexities of modern cloud computing.
