SECURE CLOUD GOVERNANCE CONCEPT
Why do you need a cloud governance framework if you already have existing policies that govern on-premise IT environments? Well, that’s simple: It’s an iterative process and you need to complement those policies. Learn about the key areas you need to focus on to get cloud ready, e.g. documenting evolving business risks and risk tolerance (based on data classification and application criticality), converting risk decisions into policy statements to establish cloud adoption boundaries, and establishing processes to monitor violations and adherence to corporate policies. These policies serve as the early warning system to flag potential problems and help your organization address any risks so that it can get cloud ready in the best possible way.
- Evaluate and monitor e.g. cloud costs, limit IT spend, scale to meet needs, and more
- Ensure compliance with IT Security requirements by applying a security baseline
- Resource consistency by enforcing practices for on-boarding, recovery and more
- Define the baseline for identity and access by consistently applying e.g. role definitions
- Accelerate deployment through centralization, consistency, and standardization
