Data Security And Compliance In Modernized Cloud-Enabled Healthcare And Financial Systems

Abstract

Modernization of cloud-based healthcare and financial systems, compliance, and data security are complex issues as companies shift their legacy infrastructures to distributed infrastructures. This change harmonizes innovation needs with high regulatory demands in multifaceted frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOX. The combination of old systems and new cloud systems also introduces special vulnerabilities to the migration processes, where advanced technical measures, such as encryption and secure exchange of data protocols, extensive key management, and identity systems are needed. The application of the standards of interoperability, including HL7 FHIR and ISO 20022, facilitates safe information exchange and ensures compliance with the help of special validation tools. Organizations can achieve a sustainable architecture by addressing security and compliance concerns as design elements and not as an appended element to the current architecture to generate a resilient system to guarantee that the regulations are observed, even in a changing technological environment.
