b2ap3_large_compliance_burde_20231031-140852_1

Despite what detractors say, regulations are in place for good reason. They typically protect individuals from organizational malfeasance. Many of these regulations are actual laws passed by a governing body and cover the entire spectrum of the issue, not just the data involved. The ones that have data protection regulations written into them mostly deal with the handling and protection of sensitive information.

Today, we look at the costs incurred by these organizations as a result of these regulations, and how to ascertain how they affect your business.

b2ap3_large_cloud_money_costing_yo_20231031-141009_1

It sounds like a perfect scenario for small and large businesses alike, but things aren’t always what they seem, as a lot of cloud users have found that they have incurred several hidden costs by using cloud platforms.
