An organization’s compliance with regulatory standards for application usage and data storage must remain in accordance with industry guidelines and local, national, and international laws.
Failing to maintain compliance can result in several consequences, including steep fines, damage to a business’s reputation, and even the potential of downtime to its network infrastructure, causing severe disruptions to its processes and end users.
Let’s look at what compliance in AWS entails and some solutions organizations can leverage to ensure they remain compliant.
Normas de conformidade na AWS
Cloud environments like AWS have become increasingly popular as more organizations realize their scalability and cost efficiencies. However, as these organizations increase their cloud migrations, they must also understand the increased scope of compliance they are taking on—especially since cloud providers like AWS do not offer the necessary data protection and security requirements to meet full compliance on all ends.
Remember that compliance is not just about meeting requirements for real-time processes; securing enterprise data and its backups is an essential aspect that can often prove even more complicated. If your organization is currently using AWS for its workloads and data, you must be equipped to meet all the various compliance requirements, both now and as they change in the future.
Embora a AWS ofereça um certo nível de conformidade por parte dela, a conformidade total da organização se enquadra no que é conhecido como modelo de responsabilidade compartilhada.
O que é o modelo de responsabilidade compartilhada da AWS?
Under AWS’s shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for compliance with any regulations regarding the host layer and physical infrastructure, while the organizations using AWS are responsible for regulations relevant to how they use the cloud services, host applications, and store data.
These shared compliance responsibilities are referred to as “security of the cloud” and “security in the cloud.”
AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud itself—the infrastructure that runs its cloud services, such as hardware, software, networking, and facilities.
As organizações que utilizam a AWS são responsáveis por garantir a segurança na nuvem. Essas responsabilidades dependem dos serviços específicos que a organização está utilizando e podem incluir qualquer aplicativo, software ou utilitário instalado pelo cliente nas instâncias, o acesso aos pontos de extremidade utilizados para armazenar e recuperar dados, bem como o gerenciamento dos dados, o que inclui quaisquer opções de criptografia que estejam sendo implementadas.
The organization’s responsibilities don’t end there; they must also classify their assets and use identity and access management (IAM) tools to apply the appropriate permissions. And this is all in addition to meeting service-level agreements (SLAs) with their customers.
Embora a AWS ofereça às organizações suas próprias ferramentas nativas de conformidade, isso não diminui o fato de que o processo pode ser complicado e oneroso quando realizado manualmente de forma contínua.
Os desafios para garantir a conformidade na AWS
Organizations have many hurdles to face when seeking to meet compliance requirements within AWS.
First, there is a wide range of governmental and industry-specific regulations, including HIPPA, PCI, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Europe’s Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These requirements are in addition to the complexities surrounding protecting consumer personally identifiable information (PII).
Essas regulamentações também estão sujeitas a alterações a qualquer momento. Para complicar ainda mais a situação, há inconsistências entre as regulamentações estaduais, federais e internacionais. Por exemplo, existe um prazo mínimo de retenção federal de seis anos para registros protegidos pela HIPAA, mas os requisitos estaduais podem variar de cinco a dez anos.
There’s also the issue of the hidden costs and sticker shock that can occur when achieving compliance within AWS. Organizations that use large volumes of snapshots to back up data and meet retention requirements can see their costs snowball over time as the snapshots add up.
Furthermore, organizations going the manual route with compliance must use multiple tools or manually-written scripts to piece together their policies—a process that’s very complex to implement and maintain. This is even more difficult when trying to keep up with shifting regulations or trying to stifle rising storage costs.
What’s the Best Way To Meet Compliance in AWS?
Contar com a conformidade manual é complicado, oneroso, dispendioso e deixa muito espaço para erros. Esse ambiente gera um alto risco de falha na conformidade, o que pode rapidamente se traduzir em fracasso empresarial.
Choosing an AWS compliance solution that meets the necessary data retention periods, security measures, cost efficiencies, and data recovery requirements is the most effective way to help you not only achieve but continue meeting requirements as they change.
