The compliance limitations of public cloud mainly involve data security, privacy protection, and regulatory compliance. Public cloud providers often have to comply with various international and domestic laws and regulations, which may affect the services they can provide and how they handle user data.
For example, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, public cloud providers need to ensure that any personal data processed in the cloud is protected according to strict standards. This means that providers may need to restrict the use of certain data processing techniques or encryption methods to ensure compliance.
Another example is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States, which has strict requirements for the protection of medical data. Public cloud providers need to ensure that any medical data stored or processed in the cloud meets these requirements.
In addition, different countries and regions may have different data sovereignty regulations, requiring public cloud providers to store data within specific geographical locations or provide data access and transfer restrictions.
When choosing a public cloud service, it is important to understand the compliance limitations of the provider and ensure that their services meet your specific compliance requirements.
