Businesses are shifting towards cloud adoption, driven by the promise of enhanced efficiency and scalability. However, amidst this transition, ensuring regulatory compliance and prioritising data privacy emerge as a main concern. With cloud spending projected to exceed 45% of all enterprise IT spending by 2025, organisations must navigate a landscape rife with regulatory nuances and evolving threats. We believe that there is a need for proactive approaches to safeguarding data privacy, especially in light of stringent regulations such as GDPR. Teams should implement thorough cloud and compliance training initiatives to maintain security standards. Simultaneously, legal and compliance partners must consistently monitor risks, provide guidance on regulatory changes, and establish suitable data usage policies across various business units.Learn more about how we can help your business stay compliant and secure during your cloud transition by visiting our website: https://hubs.ly/Q02s_kf-0Read more about the essential role of data privacy in secure cloud migration in this ITPro Today article: https://hubs.ly/Q02s_mbq0#CloudSpecialisations #Deimos #DigitalTransformation
