Navigating the Global Cloud Compliance Landscape: An Expert’s Insights

Global cloud compliance is essential yet increasingly complex for businesses as new regulations continue to reshape the landscape.
Achieving and maintaining cloud compliance means meeting a myriad of international regulations that vary significantly in scope and enforcement.
Compliance has effectively become a gateway to global expansion, but one that requires careful planning and strategic execution.
Implementing a robust compliance model, like a Cloud Controls Framework (CCF), allows companies to create a compliance foundation that adapts to various market needs.
A platform-based approach simplifies compliance by integrating essential tools, providing shared processes, and creating a unified compliance model.
Automated compliance checks, powered by AI, significantly reduce audit preparation time and enhance regulatory adherence across regions.
Many companies are adopting a modular compliance model, allowing organizations to add region-specific compliance modules without altering their core compliance protocols.
Phased rollouts allow companies to gradually introduce compliance measures, reducing the potential for costly errors.
By freeing up resources, compliance teams can shift their focus toward strategic initiatives, ensuring that the company’s compliance efforts support broader business goals.
Embracing platform-based solutions, leveraging AI, and implementing modular models, businesses can streamline compliance to support growth and agility.

ASP.NET Core and Angular BFF using a YARP downstream API protected using certificate authentication

This article shows how to implement certificate authentication to secure downstream APIs using Microsoft YARP reverse proxy in an ASP.NET Core app that uses Angular for UI.
Along with securing the Angular UI and ASP.NET Core backend, the API is protected with certificate authentication and deployed on Azure App Service.
The YARP reverse proxy is added in the ASP.NET Core application's startup and the appsettings.json file.
The ReverseProxy settings add the configuration defined in the app settings.
The downstream API uses certificate authentication to protect it and requires a certificate forwarding middleware in local development but not on Azure App Service.
The article also includes the setup process that shows the app working with increased security using a certificate rather than just a token.
This approach increases security and makes it simple to implement a secure app-to-app security.
Securing the downstream APIs with cookies may still be the weakest link if not secured correctly.
Links to related resources used while making the app are provided in the article.
