Key takeaways

01

Cloud adoption has transformed business scalability but introduces new compliance and security responsibilities.

02

Companies must implement proactive risk management strategies to stay compliant in cloud environments.

03

Understanding shared responsibility models between cloud providers and businesses is critical to maintaining security.

Trip Hillman and Kyle Morris join Weaver: Beyond the Numbers this week to talk about how companies can maintain compliance in today’s “cloud offering” society.

To the average user, there is still much uncertainty about the cloud. However, it has revolutionized business capabilities. It has allowed companies to scale without having to invest time and start-up dollars in pricey machinery and server rooms. Companies can also access the cutting-edge technology of huge corporations on a small business budget.

A lot of companies store information in the cloud whether it be email, document storage or data. There are cloud considerations for every company; Hillman and Morris explain on the podcast why it’s so important that all businesses understand their security posture and maintain a compliance program.
