Cloud auditing and compliance: The systematic evaluation of cloud-based systems and services to ensure that they meet regulatory and organizational security policies. This process helps verify that data is being handled in a manner that meets various compliance standards, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2, and can involve both automated scans and manual reviews. These audits are critical in mitigating risk, identifying vulnerabilities, and ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of data in the cloud.
